Well, that is a great thought, but I will have to decline. Trust me I have thought of it. lol

**Dieselwrencher** · 01-22-2018, 07:03 PM

Just get less sleep if it's even possible. That's the only way I can work on my crap.

I've gotten to drive the old red truck a little so I thought I'd share some winter page flip pictures.

NoNeck · 02-16-2018, 03:58 PM

Wow man, your truck turned out really nice. I like the stance.

Thanks Pop. It's always fun to drive around. I always get a lot of thumbs up and conversations at the gas stations.

Thanks Heath. Good to see you around here.

mcbassin · 04-04-2018, 10:46 AM

I bought some new wheels for my truck from board member Laidbackrecreations
these are the new speedways from Billet specialties. I have already started lowering my truck. Waiting on some new shocks before I'm finished. here's a sneak peek.
SPECS:
front wheel 20X8.5 with 5.5 BS
front tire BFG 245-45-20
Rear wheel 20X10 with 5.5 BS
rear tire BFG 275-40-20
Front suspension: I'm running 3" drop springs and 2-1/2" drop spindles, stock control arms
Rear suspension: 5" drop springs with 2" blocks, rear diff is stock 73 up 12 bolt

Zoomin · 04-04-2018, 11:03 AM

Looks awesome, Mike!

SCOTI · 04-04-2018, 11:31 AM

Nice!

You should know better because you're going to be asked.... Wheel/tire size/specs?

slowcpe · 04-04-2018, 11:50 AM

Wheels look killer! I'm in for the specs too, especially since the fronts have (2) different BS options. Those wheels fit perfect!

Low Elco · 04-04-2018, 12:50 PM

Man, that looks great, Mike!

slowcpe · 04-04-2018, 02:12 PM

Thanks for the specs. That tire looks wide for a 275. Does it look like you room for a 295 out back?

**Dieselwrencher** · 04-04-2018, 05:51 PM

That looks so awesome! Very nice!

jmking9 · 04-04-2018, 09:13 PM

Wow! The wheels look great. Very nice choice.

OKGMC4 · 04-05-2018, 05:49 AM

Definitely liking those better than the rally rims! Did you have to use spacers on the rear? Is yours the narrow early rear or a wider 71-72 axle?

Thanks I'm digging the new look myself. I think it's a little more sporty...
The rear axle is 73 up squarebody 12 bolt. Not the stock 70 12 bolt

Not sure about the 295? There's what seems to just be enough clearance on the outside.
