Thank you sir! The wheels are REV100 CLASSIC and are 20x8 front and 20x10 rear. Tires are nitto420 with 255/45/20 and 285/50/20 rear

Here are a couple of mine.
It's a 1977 Silverado C/10 built in Fremont Ca. Sold in San Rafael Ca. She is still sporting her original paint and has only 110,000 on the odometer. I am the 2nd owner. The original owner used to show it till his death in 2006 his wife gave it to her son in law, who drove a year till he blew the trans then is sat till I bought it 6 months ago. I am going to bring her back to her street rod days of circa. 1980. last photo is the day I got her home.

That's a tight looking truck! I got an '86 that's about to get a 4/6 drop and new wheels/tires. Your truck's stance is what I'm looking for. But I'm still not quite sure of the wheel backspacing. What's the b/s on yours?

I know what I'd do with that, drop it and drive it. Cool truck.

My 85 Sbc 406 getting ready to do a 4/6 L.M.C drop before spring

This is what I started out with a while back - '87 GMC the PO had totally re-badged into a Chevy, with a 50 foot'er paint job and blue interior:




I wanted something a bit different, and, while it's not done just yet (and it's pretty dirty), this is the direction I took:





Oh, yeah - that nasty chin spoiler was reinstalled by mistake, and is coming off...

Very nice! I really like it.

BTW regarding the posts a few after yours: it's YOUR truck, it's YOUR money so build it for yourself the way you like it. Everyone else with negative comments can go "drive" themselves.

Am I the only one that looks a bit strange a car that really sits on the ground?. To me it look like the suspension broke ...Well everyone has their own taste ;-)

I have to agree. My brother wants me to "Bag" mine, but I absolutely refuse. I think it looks silly. I can't fathom spending money on that and those wheels & tires when obviously the money could be spend on things it really needs. But hey, thats just me.

I am with both of you. I think it ruins these classic trucks.

I tend to like the ability to do this-whether I would ever do it if I had the ability to or not. But Hey! Its a great emergency brake! And you'll never have it twed on you.

Well that depends on where you park it! I have heard of tow truck drivers in the Ghetto parts of Pittsburgh who just drag the vehicle to the impund lot if they cant get it on the bed or in the air.

[Turbo Rocket]

Nice trucks. Can't get my pictures to show up.

[mud.man.rj]

Yep...that is cool, not for where I live but cool, sure not like the same, same as what everyone else has, thumbs up to you man.

[MSL]

Cool i post my truck and get one comment and when someone post a lowered pile with ugly rims the whole board wakes up, what has this world come too its a truck not a car. Sorry if i offended anyone i guess i am to old to see the beauty in it and this is why i left before.

[Sir-Geoff]

I also like the patina look!
