Re: New trash truck
 

Well I did this last weekend and not sure if I like it or not. Its not black on the wheels but a dark gray. What do you guys think?

Re: New trash truck
 

I liked 'em better before. It is different though, and you wouldn't ever have to worry about brake dust:lol:

Re: New trash truck
 

I like em stock. Gives the truck some contrast. But if u like em this way. That's all that matters

it starts as a idea and then it snow balls into a avalanch

Re: New trash truck
 

cool gettin the sleeper look

Re: New trash truck
 

I dont like the wheels. Maybe grab a camaro center cap and paint like this? It is a 91-92 chevy camaro wheel w/cap, painted to look like dog dish wheels with hubcap.

Re: New trash truck
 

Sweet little trash truck :lol: But I'm with everyone else on the wheels. Maybe consider painting them a deep metallic red or at least pinstripe the recessed areas in red and the lip....

Re: New trash truck
 

what all did ya do to lower the rear ? I have 3" blocks in my '88 and it dont sit near that low. I want it sit bout like your's.

Re: New trash truck
 

Well, I would not do this, but I had a 4" block and then took out the long leaf. That took it about 6", I did get 3" lowering leafs and will add a 3" block. I am not a big fan of blocks, but thats what works best on the s10's. Hope that that helps.

Re: New trash truck
 

on my s15 jimmy, when I bought it when I was 17... It had a 3in and 4in block stacked on top of each other in the rear and the front springs completely removed all together. Just rode on the bump stops on the front and drug the shock mounts on the rear... It was terrible.. I drove it like that for about 6 months because I couldnt afford to fix it before I rasied it back up lol.. Looked cool tho.

Re: New trash truck
 

Wow! thats crazy man..:lol: I am in my 30's now and it has to have a good ride and AC. But when I was yunger it was low, loud no AC..:lol:

Re: New trash truck
 

when I was in my early 20's I had a '53 F100 with enough springs remove'd to ley the frame lay on the axle's, look'd cool as crap (lowest truck in town) but rode like crap, I drove it that way for years .

Re: New trash truck
 

Nice!!:metal:

Re: New trash truck
 

Cool Dime. I'm with everyone about the wheels. I believe they offered a bit of nice contrast before they were painted. When I was in high school, everyone wanted or had an S10. Some were lowered right, but most weren't. It does appear that your "trash truck" is starting to suffer from a little "mission creep". Lol!

Re: New trash truck
 

I put a little color on it this past weekend and plus it helps with the show..:lol:

Re: New trash truck
 

looks good! Nice advertising! I still think the rims need some color....especially now with the door emblem...maybe just stripe the recessed areas red for some color???

Or...paint the lip and ring the darker red of the emblem and leave the rest as it is?

Or, spray them back with an aluminum color ;)

Re: New trash truck
 

Nice! How is it that I'm envious of a truck with four cylinders and zero door panels? :lol:
