Man, Rob,... The Coys fit good!
You must have a 71-72 rearend under it.
Now just come down another inch in the rear.
Or,... maybe just throw a bag on the rear for "cough" adjustability.
(You know,... incase you have to haul something heavy)

Rob, I too love the Coy's - now lets see them on the Superburb, since they were just "laying around"!

Well, it looks good with the Coys but I don't think it looks right. I guess I am used to seeing the Welds or Rallies on it. I just got four 7" Rallies. I gave two to a buddy and I am going to put the other two on the front of mine. They were free to me. :metal:

To do fit really well. I would probably go with a 5" backspacing instead of the 5.5". Great suggestions and probably the reason I won't change, one thing keeps leading to another......:lol:.

Yes it will! I think it looks great. Do you like it, or you still thinking Billit Specialties?

I'm getting ready to do a radiator/electric fan swap. I've got the current setup (radiator/e-fan/tranny cooler) listed on the parts board if anyone is interested. There's nothing wrong with the current setup, I just want to change it to make it a little cleaner. Here's the link:

It's funny how certain parts look "right" on certain trucks. Like my friends 49 GMC with the sun visor that sticks over the windshield. I personally HATE them on other trucks but LOVE them on 49-52's :crazy: :lol:

Thanks Tommy. Looks like you're finally getting to do some work on your "farm truck" too, :lol:.

Yes Sir. It's about time I give her some much deserved attention. I'm definitely gonna put that bumper you gave me on the rear before I do a flip-kit.

I can't wait to see how it comes out.

Is this to hi-tech for the farm truck? :) Satin black or silver??

That's kinda the way I was leaning. Although silver would add a little more color under the hood...

Hart Rod, what fan and shroud setup is that in post #268? Looks like it fits the Stock? radiator pretty good.

I originally bought this for the burb but I found something a little "neater", :). Here's a few links for the fan setup:
