Some work complete and new shoes !
 

Finished rebuilding the entire front end, shocks, brakes, drums, hoses, ball joints, springs, tie rods, idle arm, etc. Did a 1" front, 3" rear drop with springs and then 255/60r17s all the way around on 17X8 vision rallys.

I'm going for the...just out from stock look...or comments like "that truck looks really good"...but most aren't sure just why kinda feel.

Just being silly... :D That really does look nice. Those wheels are so period perfect for that truck!

Re: Some work complete and new shoes !
 

Does look real good.

Beautiful, love the police caps.

What kind of stance did the 1/3 give you... is it level now?

Re: Some work complete and new shoes !
 

It is completely level now, the ride and handling are greatly improved with the new springs, etc.

Re: Some work complete and new shoes !
 

Totally dig it!

Re: Some work complete and new shoes !

I like the stance and style

Great job

Darn good looking truck.

Re: Some work complete and new shoes !
 

Thats a keeper ... :metal:

Re: Some work complete and new shoes !
 

Yeah Yeah, Looks great, but that would be 2nd to ride and handling. Can't see the beautiful stance from behind the wheel.

Sorry, I'm afraid I have to be different and offer a different opinion. I am not very good with photoshop, but I slide the front tire up (maybe too much) to see what it would look like. For me, I'd drop the front a little more.

I love a clean '68. Was the Maroon painted over an original White? Just wondering why the nose say's ''I'm a '67'' but she's lying about her age.

Re: Some work complete and new shoes !
 

The whole front, cab and all were originally vermilion red. The bed, was the "off white / almost faded yellow" whatever that's called at sometime in the past before I got it.

I've gone back and forth between the notion of going back to full vermilion, or more of a "banana pudding" yellow. I'm leaning more towards vermilion at this time.

The current color is some sort of corvette reddish purple...I forget what it was actually called.
