You are right. That is a very nice '86. Wonder if he still has it and how it looks today?

killthewabbit · 02-01-2007, 03:59 PM

I've referenced this one a couple times on this board already, so I may as well add it here. My pics from a Barrett-Jackson auction a few years back, but not my truck:

My75Shorty · 02-03-2007, 04:22 AM

There are a lot of beauties on this thread!!!!! Here is mine nothing special, but look aggressive, hehe.

86swb · 02-03-2007, 02:45 PM

They came on as far as I know, the '67-'72 Chevy trucks. Maybe others also.

My truck

86swb · 02-07-2007, 11:25 PM

URECKME, are those holes in your finder? Looks like bullet holes. Other than that, looks like a nice truck. Where are you getting the 700R4? With that set up what RPM do you think you will be getting around 60mph?

Rc 415 · 02-07-2007, 11:41 PM

^^ I believe those holes are actually from the originl trim.

Here is my truck...thought I had posted it in here already. It has since been painted, will push it outside this weekend for some sunshine and new pics.

Chlsnk · 01-01-2009, 08:46 PM

The first two are of my truck and the last is one I got in a email attachment and once I get my step side bed I would like it to look like that.What do you think of the wire wheels there kind of growing on me.

I am a firm believer in "to each his own" but personally wire wheels look kinda tacky. The ones on the stepper are *****in' though! If the wire wheels are your thing, roll em! But i think there are better options. Beautiful truck tho, lots of great potential! Good luck!

Yeah i'm not real big on the wires eather.They are what came on the truck when I got it and at least they arn't GOLD.

My ideal set up would be some 15x12 alloy slotted mags with mickey thompson street slicks and a mini tub with a step side bed.

Exactly! the wires give it a tall lean stance so until I can afford some new tires for my pontiac rally II wheels im stuck and content with the wires.

77chebby · 01-13-2009, 09:27 AM

what size are those wires? they look real tall . 20's?? i think that with the truck lowered down and a step side bed (to break up all that tall and lean stance your talking about) it will look pretty good. if we remember older cars with wire wheels that we love had a lot more bulbous and shapely fenders and lines and there is a reason we call it a short box chevy....
