Woogeroo · 01-04-2010, 02:35 AM

hey TheDark1,

I like those wheels.... what are they? centerlines or something else?

TheDark1 · 02-11-2009, 09:11 PM

Forgot to add, 1" lowered springs in the front, too. 3.5" & 5" total.

cogorman · 02-11-2009, 09:38 PM

Good looking trucks everybody!

"TheDark1" Do you know the backspacing on your rear wheels? Are the backs 10" wide or 8's?

"DaddyMack" What are your wheel and tire specs? They look nice. I like the door peep mirrors also. IMight just have to be a copy cat on the mirror.

255/45-18 all the way around without touching a thing...

American Racing Torqlite wheels. I don't remember if they are 18 x 7 or 8

i actually got rid of the peep mirror and put the big one back on. I think I like the look better, but most of all, I can see.

TheDark1 · 02-11-2009, 09:50 PM

They are all 8" wide rims. The back spacing is 4" I think. I'd have to measure to be sure. The rims were bought at Western Auto about 1993 or so. I know I didn't special order them though. I'm trying to find some 10" or 12" wide slots for the back. The peep mirror I have came from JC Whitney.

cogorman · 02-12-2009, 02:03 PM

good to know .. thanks for the response

Oregoon · 02-12-2009, 11:53 PM

Love your truck Corts!

Beautiful, and those are the tires I want to run on my truck, though I'm leaning toward blackwalls...

That said, those white walls make your truck!

rss396 · 02-13-2009, 12:40 AM

My old 1961 has CPP 4 inch rear drop springs and the torison bars cranked down until they drag on everything in their way. The ride is good but the dragging is bad. If your truck does not have torsion bars
not a problem. This pic is before the rear springs arrived and it is sitting on the bump stops in the rear.

rss396 · 02-13-2009, 12:54 AM

Add some snow and they drop a little more. But the traction is not so good. Waiting for spring.

Muddpile: very cool..... that is close to what i will be doing with my 60 gmc, with the drop and scallops ...... like it a lot.

muddpile · 03-10-2009, 09:06 AM

Haha, at the moment I'm like yourself, in Moose Jaw. The truck isn't here, however, as it's in winter storage.

Imperial Kustom · 03-12-2009, 01:37 PM

my '62 before air ride. Its tough to tell in the picture, but ride height was 2 1/2" at the rocker. It was dropped as far as it would go and channeled (body-dropped) three inches.
