New From TX - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

rickygee · 09-29-2009, 12:20 AM

Hello All I have been lurking for quite some time here and am nearing the end of my build for its first of im sure many versions.
What i Started with was a 1 owner Clean Solid Local Truck
I purchased it in March '09, and have been slowly working on it since then as time permits.
if anyone has any questions feel free to ask.
Basic Details are BBC, Richmond 6 Speed, Complete Ridetech StrongArm Kit, and some other goodies. The "Barn Find" Look is still somewhat in season i decided to leave it the way i found it for now since its not the same when ya make em look that way and save my self a whole lot of grief going through the whole Paint experience for now.

The Wheels Are Made By Esajian Wheel Basically a Billet Specialties Apex G
18x8with 4.5 bs in front and 18x10 with 5.5 bs in rear.
I did have to make a small spacer for the rear about .3125" thick per side 5/8" total
Tires are Nitto 555's 295/45/18 and 255/45/18

Ill Work on a build thread as i have time. Thanks for all the positive feedback!
