Got some time tonight to upload a few more pictures. Here are some of the 6 bolt 15x8 rallies that I bought at the end of summer. I decided to sandblast them and repaint. I used Rustoleum Ultra Automotive primer and I believe it was VHT Wheel Paint-Argent Silver, VHT Wheel Paint-Black, and then Rustoleum Crystal Clear Clearcoat. I think they turned out pretty good for using spray paint.
Also bought the 6 bolt 2.5" drop spindle/disk brake conversion kit from Auto City Classic out of Isanti, MN at the Fall Jefferson Car show in Jefferson, WI.
I am waiting to complete the 5.3 swap before I start with the brake install. I have to decide how low to go. I am leaning toward the 2.5" drop spindles in front and going with a 2" drop spring as well. With the rear leafs, I am planning on doing the 2" drop shackles, relocating the front perches, and removing a leave or two to get about 5-6 inch drop in the rear. Anybody have tips for lowering the rear of a leaf spring truck?
