Rims or White Walls? - Page 2 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I say rims and white walls

Love white walls dont care for stock rims or hub caps.
Find a set of tires for those rims that can be grooved best of both worlds.
hmm I probably shouldn't be giving out my ideas for my truck.

powerdriver 1958 · 06-20-2009, 04:18 PM

Strictly my opinion.For me it would be "wheels",Last time I saw wide white walls in person was on my Grandpa's 67.........I was 17.

1970 Bowtie · 06-20-2009, 05:44 PM

For show I like the whites,for cruzin I like the rims.

**KevsClassics** · 06-21-2009, 01:18 PM

Come on now. Why even ask. White walls are for cars!

sson20s · 06-21-2009, 01:23 PM

i like the way that truck looks with the wheels , looks very nice

mr48chev · 06-21-2009, 01:47 PM

I like the whitewalls on that one although Zumo's redline idea looks pretty sharp. I have always thought that those oversize wheels and rubber band tires look like something out of a cartoon or one of the Hotwheel cars. I know, I'm an official "old guy" but they just look silly to me.

72BlckButy · 06-22-2009, 08:23 AM

Rene... first off what a tough decision, I'm just glad that I'm not the one making it.

On the '72 what kind of a drop are you running on it?

72BlckButy · 06-22-2009, 09:28 PM

Nevermind Rene... I did my own search and located the drop on your '72 in my CT magazine. You are a lucky owner...

Thank you very much, Yes I'm very lucky. You know it's funny, whenever I see your new truck, I do the old double take, making sure you didn"t snatch my 68 .

CheyenneShop · 06-22-2009, 11:43 PM

Rims! Love your stuff!

Yeah, I wanted to say something about the '68 because it reminds me of my truck every time I see it. When I located my '69 I was questioning the originality of the paint scheme, but after seeing your '68 I felt a little more at ease.

C'mon Nate, share the specs...... I have not renewed my CT subscription...

72BlckButy · 06-23-2009, 08:27 AM

Oops... I knew I forgot something with that post.

The information below was pulled from the 2nd link in Rene's signature:

Rear suspension: stock w/5" drop Early Classic coils
Front suspension: stock w/3 1/2" drop Early Classic coils
Front wheels: Coddington Hot Rod 8x20
Rear wheels: Coddington Hot Rod 10x20
Front tires: Hankook 245/40R20
Rear tires: Hankook 275/40R20

I can't remember which months issue the article was in, I just spread them across the living room floor and started hunting.

72BlckButy · 06-23-2009, 08:29 AM

BTW... Rene were you aware of this????

LINK

If it doesn't change, it should have a shot of Rene's '68 on the cover of the Brothers 1947-72 Catalog.

Congrats on the honor!

my67chevytruck · 06-23-2009, 08:36 AM

Thanks Nate.... Gues i should have looked a lil more... Congrats Rene, some nice rides for sure!

72BlckButy · 06-23-2009, 01:51 PM

Not a problem... how do you think I felt after I threw all the magazines across the living room floor, picked them back up, and returned to the computer and then realized the information was right there in his signature.
