Now that looks sharp. What all has been done to it?

hirolr68 · 01-23-2010, 10:21 PM

Look guys I add the rallys wheels.

Scootin 81 C20 · 01-23-2010, 10:24 PM

Looks great. Needs bigger tires out back though. LOL

menace121978 · 01-23-2010, 10:24 PM

looks good! now dump it to the top of the tires!!

hirolr68 · 01-23-2010, 10:32 PM

That's what I was thinking. A 3/5 or 4/6 drop would look awesome!

glock35ipsc · 01-23-2010, 10:46 PM

Some new ones I took today. I swapped steering wheels with the one from my rarely driven 70 K10, and swapped the rally trim rings for a new set of deep ones that I had in the attic. These are the first pics I think I have taken outside since I put the sport rear bumper on.

menace121978 · 01-23-2010, 10:51 PM

sure looks good Bob! love the new trim rings... speaking of lowering??

glock35ipsc · 01-23-2010, 10:56 PM

Yeah, yeah, yeah.......

I would like to go another inch in the rear and 2 in the front, but I need to swap the oil pan before I go much lower in the front though:

menace121978 · 01-23-2010, 11:04 PM

i just seen a kit for $136

includes everything... you may have already seen it. and i got my old coils with 1 round chopped off you can have.

glock35ipsc · 01-24-2010, 12:29 AM

I already chopped one full coil of the 210,xxx mile springs!

I seem to recall seeing that oil pan kit somewhere. Hmmm, I wonder.......

Fastest32 · 01-24-2010, 12:42 AM

My 83.

menace121978 · 01-24-2010, 12:47 AM

well i guess spindles would be next in line!

menace121978 · 01-24-2010, 12:51 AM

really nice looking truck man! and welcome!!!

**nlped** · 01-24-2010, 01:16 AM

Come on Bob, it's time to do some altitude adjustment to Fred...

1973GMC_1500 · 01-24-2010, 01:54 AM

This is me and dads. We bought it, but are good friends with the group of people that built it.

Has a hard running 434 big block (454 w/ 396 crank) it's built for mud drags, definitely not street use (race fuel is expensive)

Even though the truck is in excellent condition, we are doing a frame off. we will be doing a frame swap because my boss wants it to be 4wd.

here is the frame we picked up from the sandblasting place today, its a 79
