Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
Well, I like the shape/design of the wheel I picked, but they don't come in the finish I wanted. I guess we'll just have to see...

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
The wheels are 15x7 front and 15x8 rear, and the tires are 255/70-15 all the way around. I think a 225/70-15 on the front would fit better, the front rubs in turns and when the front end dips.

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
It was good to meet you too, I like putting faces to the names we see here on the board! lol I think you have a good plan, get it running and ride it around. While you are wringing out your suspension you can collect up LSx parts!

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
Got some work done over the last few days, adjusted the back brakes, they weren't doing much. Rerouted and adjusted the parking brake as it didn't work either! lol I trimmed the rear bump stops down to give me some more travel, I think I need a c-notch. Still chewing on the driveline alignment, I think I am going to make a 1' block to go under the transmission mount and see if it improves the angles. And I am still waiting on wheels...

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
So... I called about the wheels I ordered on the November 19th. I was told they will be here next Tuesday, 4 days from now. According to UPS the transit time from Utah is 4 days! I was told the wheels and tires were in stock and would be delivered in 7 to 10 days. If they show up on Tuesday it will have been 23 days. Anyway, if anyone is interested I ordered Polished Coy C-57s in 20X8.5 front and 22X9 rear. Here is a pic...

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
Nice choice on the wheels, I just hope Coys doesnt screw with you like they seem to do with everybody else. Can't wait to see them on.

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
Sweet man. It's amazing what they tell you when your buying stuff. I paid and ordered stuff before and was told 2 weeks. 7 weeks later stuff gets shipped. Oh well right.
They will look clean man. Posted via Mobile Device

Thanks, I wanted to do something different and I haven't seen many trucks with this wheel so I figured I'd give it a go. Thanks J!

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
Thanks Justin, I think I like the gunmetal grey Coy's C-5s so much that going with a different wheel has me a little nervous. Hopefully we will see this week!
I did some work on drive line angles today. I removed the transmission crossmember, cut the perch off, flipped it, and re-welded it. It raised the tail shaft right at an inch, that is all I could raise it without getting into the floor. Of course raising it has moved my exhaust up into to top of the pass through holes in the trailing arm crossmember, so it needs to go back to the exhaust shop. I also notice the shifter was off because of the move so I will adjust it this week. I hope that this drive line correction, along with the new wheels and tires, and sending my drive shaft to be balanced will eliminate the vibration I get on the highway. I don't know how smooth one of these trucks can be, but I hope I can improve upon what I have. Anyway here are a few pics of my work today...

I haven't tried the shims yet, going one step at a time so I don't confuse the outcome. If had done them first it would have increased the angle at the front u-joint which was already 5°. Making progress though. If I bring my drive shaft up this week I'll give you a call to see if you are working on ur projects.

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
Your truck should resemble this one.
These are 18/20's,...

Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
Thanks for the pic! I think I saw that truck in a for sale ad. Do know any specs on that truck? Looks to be bagged.
I think I am going to have to get some narrow control arms (even with 5.25 bs) to keep from rubbing on the front inner fenders.
