I need some pics of low red and low white trucks 67-68 prefered

Just trying to figure out what color to paint the truck

I was thinking about red or white but I may even go with a pearl white with red flames.


If you have some pics please share.

Get out and drive the truck this summer and have some fun!
It sucks not being able to hear!

LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.

Hey guys thanks for the pics

All of the trucks look great

But now I have a few questions for all of you.

1) Jhawkns, what kid of drop do you have and wat did you use fr it such as springs etc.

2)Andy, How close do you live to monroe NC-lancaster SC?
I thought I have seen your truck before riding down the road.

3)seanh71 was that a custom color or????

You could try out http://cyberods.com/. Board member Blaz-air is the owner and brain-child behind it. You can color, lower, add flames, two-tone and chop your truck!

The Truck in the first picture I posted was one that I saved because I was curious how my truck would look with small front tires. This ones mine. 2/4 drop. Springs only.

Hey That's my Truck!

The first pic of the white 68 is my pickup...Its got a 4/5 drop from Early Classic Enterprises. What program did you use to turn it red? I would love to play around with paint schemes. I dropped with spindles/ springs etc. Rides like a dream! The paint is a 50 foot paintjob though. Looks good in the pic anyway! The right stance and rims really set these trucks off right...

Nice Truck Jake. I don't know what he used to change the color on that image, but I've done similar using corel8. He was asking for pictures so I posted the one of your truck. I hope you don't mind. What size are your front tires? I like that look.

I don't mind at all jhwkns, It swells the ol' noggin a bit actually... You have to see it in person to truly appreciate the crappiness of the paint...LOL!
I got 17x8's with 255/50's on the front, 17x9.5 with 275/50's on the rear. Just put in a th400 and a B&M Mega Truck shifter, I'll get some pics soon.

Heck while your at it do one with the top of cab white, and the main body blue, and the bottom body line white. I think that would look alright...
