Toxic Orange, here is a pic of mine with 20 inch Coy's. I had to go back to a 15 to be happy

Re: pics of lowered trucks with stock steel wheels and caps.
 

Man, I like it both ways. I am so torn between both the looks. Your truck looks awesome either way! I am thinking about getting some Coys and keeping the Rallies in the garage just to have a change of scenery when I get tired of seeing it one way or the other.

Hope to have the front clip on this weekend.

Re: pics of lowered trucks with stock steel wheels and caps.
 

What are the specs on the lowering job, like the stance of your stepper.

Re: pics of lowered trucks with stock steel wheels and caps.
 

Thanks,
Bags in place of springs. Short bag hats in rear so no frame driling. 2" drop blocks, ece super trac bar and shock relocators with kyb drop shocks. In the last pic it's touching the frame. In the front there are lower cups under the bag that fit in the spring pocket.

26 1/2" to fender in rear and 29" front. Front could be lower with spindles or cupping the lower control arms.

Picture from today with front clip on. Raised the rear to 30" and front 29" still

How tall are your lower cups in the front?

They are 3" as ordered. I know some cut down the cups but if I did the bag would rub on the lca when aired out. Now there's around 1/4" space between the bag and lca's

Don't let this thread die out! lol My brother and I are tearing down a '69 GMC Stepside and will probably go with this look. We will probably use the Wheel Vintiques 62 series with a 5 lug conversion axle and discs for the front.

What is the widest tire that can fit under a non-tubbed stepside fender?

Re: pics of lowered trucks with stock steel wheels and caps.
 

Not sure if I will keep it this way.

Re: pics of lowered trucks with stock steel wheels and caps.
 

Oh man. I REALLY like 17" steelies on these trucks.

Re: pics of lowered trucks with stock steel wheels and caps.
 

wow.

That one just speaks to me. Don't change it!

Re: pics of lowered trucks with stock steel wheels and caps.
 

Not exactly a truck but here's my lowered suburban with factory steel wheels on it, 15x6's in the front and 15x8's in the rear.

Re: pics of lowered trucks with stock steel wheels and caps.
 

I haven't changed my caps in ages. I think I'll go back to these for a while.

Here's mine the way it's gonna hibernate this winter.

Re: pics of lowered trucks with stock steel wheels and caps.
 

ECE 4/6 drop, with C-notched rear and 1.5" blocks. Wheel Vintiques smoothies and Wheel Vintiques hubcaps.

Heavymetl,
There are only a few lowered trucks I like, and yours is at the top of the list, I've really admired that truck since I found it on the google image search awhile back. Love the wheels and keeping the patina with upgraded engine. Excellent work!

Re: pics of lowered trucks with stock steel wheels and caps.
 

Wow, thanks for the nice comments. I've driven the truck a ton of miles and had a blast! I've hauled firewood, countless hot rod parts, and even used it to move my furniture across town. Gotta love a toy than can be used as well.

Re: pics of lowered trucks with stock steel wheels and caps.
 

This was mine after the first paint job around 88-89. I wished I had some pictures before the color change! Sitting on 15"x 8" ralley's. Don't remember the tire sizes. Had the coils heated up in front and 3" blocks in the back. Cheap drop at the time.:chevy:

Re: pics of lowered trucks with stock steel wheels and caps.
 

I love the LS swap idea for my own 69 stepside. Did you have a build thread for your LS swap. I would like to see some details on the swap such as motor mounts used and retaining the stock speedo.

Re: pics of lowered trucks with stock steel wheels and caps.
 

What caps could I put on these? They are from a 79 with disc brakes.

Are moons possible?

Re: pics of lowered trucks with stock steel wheels and caps.
 

Looks great. What size wheels did you go with? 15 x 8?

Re: pics of lowered trucks with stock steel wheels and caps.
 

Still love this truck.

Re: pics of lowered trucks with stock steel wheels and caps.
 

With the bags finally in I can contribute to a thread I've read often.

Am taking advice on wheels! Current thoughts: stock caps plus rear spacers, stock wheels with spider caps and rear spacers, or a plus sized rally with spiders.
