Actually I just have the 1.5 spring in the front at the moment... Like everything else so far that is subject to change. Just seeing it with the cab down on it makes me smile... I knew dropping it would be nice but I love it now.
I looked at all types of wheels and for me and the budget I settled for show wheels streeter (polish). I got them off the brown truck yesterday! I'm not a wheel specialist but man they are nice looking. Searching for tires and I ended up ordering Toyo 295/40 for the rear and 255/40 for the front.

Once I get it all together and see how things settle I may tweak on the springs some like you did.

That thing is killer! My dad built it over the last 3 years.. I learned a ton helping on the 56. That's the reason I decided to jump in on a 72 truck.

The black is sooooo nice. White and black interior from Larry's Thunderbirds.

Killer looking wheel. What's the specs on the set?

Mike your stuff is in the mail as of yesterday... I love the wheels I think there gonna look good... toyo 295/40 on rear and 255/40 on the front.

Here is the link to the wheels... good deal and fast shipping!

es67chevy · 04-25-2012, 09:40 AM

Truck looks great! And when you said Crown Vic, I got scared. Then saw the pics and went back and reread the year. I thought you'd gone off your rockers restoring an 80s or 90s Vic. Hahaha! I didn't know those cars used to be cool!

Here's a couple... I think the blue/baby blue would look cool on one of our trucks. The thought crossed my mind several times but... I really wanted it to look more stock.

original-71 · 04-25-2012, 02:11 PM

unless i missed it somewhere, are those 20's ?

LakeAnna · 04-25-2012, 02:52 PM

Yes sir... just call me copycat on a budget... My pockets are a little light for the Intro goodys.

20/8.5 front
20/10 rear

toyo'z 255&295/40

What do you think?

On a Budget? chris i dont see any expense spared on that truck.

i honestly like them and think they will give the truck a nice hot rod look. look forward to them being on keep up with the pictures buddy.

I like them I think they will look great. Can't wait to see them mounted on the truck. I forgot to ask about your Raptor bedliner, did you roll it on after you painted it or did you spray it on?

VA72C10 · 04-28-2012, 06:18 PM

Thanks fellows for the comments!

I picked up a pretty decent seat today to rebuild for the truck.

**screaminchevypickup** · 04-29-2012, 08:06 PM

I like the console!!!
