Not usually big on side pipes but have to admit it rock with the black rims and black paint, good looking truck.

Front - 15x7 with 255/60 (soon to be changed to 225/70)
Rear - 15x8 with 275/60

Front is dropped with spindles and springs - about 5"
Rear is flipped and I am about to add a 3/4" lowering block to that to bring it down a touch more.

I agree, a bit lower in the back it will match the front, nice truck, any more details.

I bought this off original owner in 1985. Now it's just been sitting in front of my house for the last year.

It's a 2.5/4 with 235/75/15s on it. 15x8s. I'm wanting some wider tires on it, but these are still new

Put the wheels from my 61 Impala on today. Front tires are too small. I think I'm going to move the ones on the back to the front and buy bigger tires for the rear. Anyone know a good rear tire size for an 18" rim?

Have to move the rear wheel tubs up and pull or cut the front inner fenders, get to work. Make er low.

bbbc10 01-02-2015 02:16 AM

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds Part II
 
he might be able to pull it off in the rear without doing any of that but the front he will have to remove the inner fenders an trim them an remove the a/c stuff

mud.man.rj 01-02-2015 02:37 PM

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds Part II
 
I figured so on the front inners, wasn't sure on the ac parts of it how close it would be, that would take quite a drop though but would look the best to tuck them all you can to actually fit the look of the truck, good luck, keep us posted.

ccreddell 01-02-2015 02:45 PM

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds Part II
 
Go with a Drop Member to narrow up the width, then maybe you could drive it with the wheels tucked....
