Oh, this is so hot. I'd add some pin striping to give it that edge I like. But regardless, this is one bad mofo.

Well, I just traded for the truck so I'm still checking stuff out but it does have cpp discs in front with coils that look new and 225/70/15. The back is leaf with air shocks on a 9" and Mt Indy n-50s. Nothing fancy but she sits good.
P.s. thanks for having me.

Fronts are 255/50-18's on 8" wheels and rears are 295/45-20's on 10" wheels. Thanks!

Did the rears fit with no tub?

Yes, the rear wheel tubs are stock. I did trim about 3/4" from the lip on the wheel well opening. From the factory there's close to an inch and a half lip so there's still plenty material left. If I remember right the wheels are 4 1/2" backspacing. I used the factory rear end, I just had the axles redrilled to five lug. A lot of people swap to a '71/'72 rearend which is wider and in which case would probably need a 5" backspaced wheel. There's not a lot of clearance but enough. I really like the 10" wheel but didn't want to widen the tubs, this combination works well.

Cut coils all round with 2"blocks in the rear 1966 c20

johnny's classics · 10-18-2013, 09:25 PM

Here's mine! Three inch drop springs and 1 and 1/2 blocks in the rear with 2.5 inch drop spindles with 1 coil cut.

This is my longbox 66. I'm not big on bags, I like to see them lowered but not touching the ground, in my humble opinion Some rake is important too.

Coming from somebody that doesn't typically gravitate toward long bed trucks, that's a great looking truck! Love the stance as well.

While I personally don't feel the need for a ground scraper myself, I will say that bags can be utilized to achieve a killer rake as well. Perfect example would be Dino's blue '66: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=556602

rustbucket66 - sharp looking truck!!! What the specs on your drop and tire sizes? That's about how I want my 66 longbed to sit.

Nice looking truck, & looks like an awesome shop setup as well!

rustbucket66 · 10-25-2013, 08:55 PM

Thanks fellas. The wheels are Appliance tru-spoke fine wires, 15x10 in the back and 15x8 in the front. I've had them for years and they were pretty rusty so I had them repaired and respoked. Appliance has been out of business for years. I can't find a new wheel that is the same. Tires are 295's x50's in the back and 245'sx50's in the front, but I think I will go to a 60 series tire in the front. The front is dropped 4 1/2 inches - 2 1/2inch drop spindles and 2 inch drop springs. The back is dropped 4 inches with 4" drop springs.
