Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
 

very nice! Some classic bling :D

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
 

dont know if it will mix well with the Budniks or NOT?? guess we will see

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
 

I am into super smooth but those are slick and play on the trucks' history so I think they'll flow great. If you got painted...maybe not....but with the chrome on a chrome bumper....they'll set it off nicely....


...and if you don't like them I'm sure you'll have no problem selling them because they look AWESOME!!!

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
 

thanks, and yes they are BEAUTIFUL, triple chrome plated !!

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
 

I would buy spacers from billetspecialties or find some one with a name you can trust. billetspecialties wheels are made in the usa. Alot of there other products are not like there valve coves and things like that but there wheels are so I would look at there spacers. Just my 2cents. Wheels look sick and it did not cost 5500 so you are doing good.

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
 

thanks i appreciate it !! and yes i am just a poor carsalesman in a bad car selling economy so for me to get billet wheels this is the only way, maybe next year i can send the back to off and get them rehooped with an extra 2 inches of offset Budnik said about $700 to rehoop the pair

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
 

I think the bumper guards will look good! I saw some the other day for sale and almost bought them. I like them!

But what do they look like on???????

Mike, where's the pics? I don't care if you don't have bumpers on your truck or that your bed is just sitting on wooden blocks.......show me the pics.

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
 

here's one from another build members truck

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
 

hey.... those are the highest quality wood blocks made and its a wood bed so i would assume it should have wood blocks right ???

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
 

The bumper gaurds look pretty cool. Do you have to drill into the bumper to install them? I only ask because it'd be nice to be able to pull them off/put them on when you feel like it.

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
 

the guy i bought them from says that the bottom hole of the bumper to frame hole gets taken out and you replace it with a bolt from the backside of the bumper into the bottom bolt hole on the guard, you leave the upper bumper bolt in and there is a little bracket that loops over the top of the bumper . however in the pic i posted of the other truck with them on they arent covering the factory bumper holes so i am not sure completely , my bumper is in my attic and i havent gotten it down to look yet

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
 

I think the ones on the blue truck are mounted to fare out. I could be wrong but I dond recall them being out there that fare.

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
 

i think they would look better where the factory bolts are , especially if that is the way they are supposed to be mounted

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
 

Yes, those were some very high quality fiber board blocks in there. :))

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
 

You can see the gap at the bottom where the curve of the bumper doesn't match the guards where the blue truck has them located.

They were meant to go over the top of the central bumper mount bolts like you were told. I had a 68 that had them stock and that is where they were.

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
 

cool , thanks for the confirmation , if someone has a pic please post it

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
 

Wheels look killer with that stance.
