That truck and the white one both have 9.75 x 16.5s and 12.50/33s.The GMC is mine and it`s screamin`for some altitude.The front springs are so negative arched I barely have an inch to the snubbers.I just want it to sit healthy.I really like the stance of the red truck,too.

Yes,they are those artillaries.Original artillaries were from the`40s in the 6-lug pattern.I think it`s cool they`ve been brought back.

dam i wish my truck would have had the factory's on it

2bits · 01-05-2009, 03:16 PM

15" Cragar Chrome Smoothies, wheels match the teardrop trailer in tow. 255/70 tires, stock rear coils, heated front springs from the PO, soon to be replaced with stock.

**michael bustamante** · 01-05-2009, 06:23 PM

yeah he drilled out the rivits and turned the insides around. they look keweler that way. I couldnt tell what he called the kustom rides back then, I`ll have to ask him that one,

that fender looks like a 47-54 chevy. funny My grampa wants me to put those rims on my 49 GMC. You got a full pic of that truck?

tcb-1 · 01-05-2009, 06:37 PM

Tim,
do you know anything about the red GMC lwb above?? I LOVE the tire and wheel combo. aren't those 16.5's?

**special-K** · 01-05-2009, 07:05 PM

That`67 Camper Cruiser?All I have is a picture.Those would be the optional 8.25-16.5s.They look great color matched red,don`t they?

It`s a panel,here`s more and everyone can see the wheels better.

brendonak · 01-06-2009, 03:59 PM

Mine will have to be 6 lug though. I like these truck up.. especially when you've got a lwb. They look ok low but I prefer the longer bed up in stance. It all depends on the truck as well too though. The first one (gold) looks awesome too in the special K post above.

Right now I have 31X33" tires. I think I can get better gas mileage with one of the tires I mentioned I like.. not sure.. and not meaning to change the topic of this post.

Special K, you are right about these trucks. They are coming back. Since getting mine.. seems like all the guys have brought them out. Hell, I have never seen so many early trucks now in my neighborhood. Chevy knew what they were doign when they made these dam things. I get looks all the time and my truck is not even done yet. I really wanted a Ford F100 because I primarilyused to be heavy into fords from owning a few early mustangs. My buddy told me these truck drive/ride better than any early ford truck and I had the better trucj for sure. I believe it!!

Sorry for rambling guys, but I am still bitter my GIANTS lost. They really played like pussies yesterday and I almost broke my television looking at the guy I thought finally had his head out of his a$$. Yeah I was on the Eli bandwagaon. I believe Plex really hurt us. This team wasn't the same since.

LOW DOUGH · 01-07-2009, 04:25 PM

I really like this one.

and this one is very nice too.

brendonak · 01-07-2009, 09:36 PM

Def my favorite, that's the height I want

67_C-30 · 01-07-2009, 11:00 PM

Slik69 · 01-07-2009, 08:58 PM
