Well, as I promised... here's a full shot of the Billet Specialties Vintecs, complete with caps, on my '69. Just not quite how I expected to debut them....

Looks great! Now I have to go read.

**lolife99** · 05-02-2010, 11:01 PM

Those wheels fit that trucks perfect!

72BlckButy · 05-03-2010, 07:47 AM

I have to say... I drove this truck to the same show last year, stock height w/ ralley wheels, and I got a few "Nice looking truck comments." Bring this truck a year later with the drop and new wheels/tires, and it was a total night and day difference. Made me feel proud...

Thanks to everyone that has had a hand in on the transformation of Blank Slate!

I have an additional upgrade for the truck, thanks to another board member, but that will have to wait..... and no curses this time!

70k52wd · 05-03-2010, 11:46 AM

Nate, you should be proud. You have one of the most beautiful 69's on the forum.

Cole Trickle · 05-03-2010, 06:20 PM

The truck looks great....caps really finished it off.

Sucks you had issues but I would rather have grief leaving then coming...lol

brn agn · 05-03-2010, 07:01 PM

Nate, your truck still looks better than 99.99999% of the trucks out there...even if it does have coolant leaking from it!

How was the ride quality this year compared to last year?

IMO.. your truck is perfect, but... 20's are addictive.

I agree... I could have completely missed the show, so it was worth it in the end. Now I have the itch to get it back out as we are experiencing some beautiful weather this week.

I take your post as an honor buddy... thank you.

As far as the ride quality, IMO, there hasn't been much of a change, even though it looks totally different. I feel as though the suspension rides about the same and offers less body roll (sway bar), while keeping the stock geometry while being lowered.

Even with the change to a shorter sidewall on the 20's the ride quality is still nice and crisp.

Plans in your future?

BB72CHEVKT · 05-03-2010, 08:55 PM

Looks perfect. Nuff said.....

*Puropedo* · 05-04-2010, 02:52 AM
