I had a picture of that Ironworks' truck in my cubicle at work. Along with the one that Hot Dog Customs did.

This is my 56 but I should clarify some details on things. In this shot, the body is blocked up on the floor with some rims and tires stuffed under it as a mock up. The frame in the fore ground of the picture is that actual frame for this truck.

I decided to go with an old school static drop by using a 3" drop axle along with 3" drop mono leafs up front and a pair of reverse eye 6" drop mono leafs in the back end. Then I combined that with some 255 60 R 15's in the back and some 215 60 R 15's up front to get the drop you see in this most recent picture

Early in this thread, I posted up that I was at work and couldn't post any pictures. Now that the thread has resurfaced and I'm at home, here you go:

Cantilever rear, 3-link with Slam Specialties RE-8 bags. Had to go cantilever because the truck is a Pro Street and I didn't want the bag directly over the axle. The bags are aired-out in this shot.

Outside, with the old rear wheel/tires

New rear wheels/tires. ET III wheels, 16x12 with 29/16.50-16 rear tires.

The truck is currently on hold until I finish my '64. The '64 is getting close, so I'll soon be posting up more pics of the '55.
