Re: Rat Rod 73-87's

heres one, i like those two but they have the wrong stance , rat rods look best slamed or at least super low. check out this thread there arent any square bodys but gets me inspired to go get some indian blanket seat covers and some black primmer and work on the truck http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=194064 also no squares but some bad a$$ trucks http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=289510

Thanks!

I think you're thinking of another truck with the "no shine is fine"...

Mine has the Dakota Digital dash in it.

Moonshine runners... that's awesome!

Here's mine. Only picture I have since we bombed it with the spray paint, but trust me the pic looks much better than the actual truck!

I hope you go the other direction, that truck deserves a nice finish. I'm not usually a stepside fan, but that one has perfect stance. I think I will cut one coil off my dropped springs; I already have spindles, I just want a wee bit of rake with the rear flip kit.

Re: Rat Rod 73-87's

I appreciate the complements! She’s a project for sure, still need to adjust the fenders, doors, hood etc. The paint is rattle can Krylon Satin Black, the truck will need to be stripped before real paint anyway so I wasn’t too concerned about using the cheap stuff. One of these days it will have a clean satin finish paint job along with a clean bare basic interior, and maybe a rat motor.

It is without a doubt the most fun driving vehicle I’ve ever owned. Everything about it seems to be “comfortable”, the ride, the seats, the stance, everything.

Got some specs on that, like drop and wheels/tires? I love the way it fits together, dude. Then again, I'm kind of partial to black steps.

Front: 2 1/2 Bell Tech's, cut 1 coil, 15 X 8 with 4 1/4 BS, 225/60/15 tires.

Rear: Axle flip, 2" blocks, 15 X 8 with 4 1/4 BS, 235/75/15LT tires. I do need to add a C-Notch, it doesn't hit often but it does hit from time to time.
