Not yet, so lets start one.

vtblazer · 10-06-2005, 08:12 PM

Licensed/inspected and insured.

Planning a shake down run this weekend.

Changed out the 38.5 super swamper for a set of 37" radial SSR's.
Weld wheels are narrower also, trying to tuck the meats in as much as possible to avoid tickets.

Original cluster
Complete original wiring harness
72 tilt column
Lokar column cable shift conversion
Made a new/different tranny cover for the triple sticks

Everything works and functions correctly even, imagine that

Here's the way it will stay for awhile.

Got it all, wife, three kids and a business to run.

My wife graciously gives me "extra" time when it's available.
Kids help me wrench when their in the mood as well.

Nice looking rig. Is your rear axle moved forward a little bit?

*FormerMember* · 10-09-2005, 02:50 PM

Yes, it's move forward 1.5" to allow for the wheel to stay centered when flexed.

Same for the front.

GMC71k20 · 10-09-2005, 04:57 PM

went up for sale? anymore details???

Sorry, I didn't know you were looking for a wheel/tire set.

GMC71k20 · 10-09-2005, 09:59 PM

So far so good.
They drive/ride very good on surface streets. Fairly quite also.
I wouldn't call them a 'mud' tire but I believe they'll be a great compromise cause I plan on driving this thing to the trails instead of trailering.
