My '70 C/10 - The Rat Bastard... [Won't Idle.]

Man I had a 71 just like that....loved that truck, except the smell of gas all the time.

How do those positive offset wheels do on the truck? any issues?

Sounds like at least that'll work in your favor then. Buyin it for a buck is even awesomer if that's a word. Lol.

The truck don't run, and it's still in issaam's backyard.
I'm just planning and ordering.

And do you mean negative offset? Like the ones on the truck?
Or positive offset, like the ones in the pics?

I just want a stock looking wheel.

Yeah Mike, I meant the neg offset newer style IFS rims.

It fits fine. I wasn't sure how it was going to fit but it turned out good.

 

[TheBeast_88K5]

I'm currently scanning Craigslist for a set of wheels.
Once I find a good deal, I'll have new wheels.

 

[TheBeast_88K5]

Okay.... So I found the exact look I want.

This truck has the 4/6 ECE kit, and the same wheel look I want.
Sh*t.... I even love the paint scheme.

 

[Smokinthehippies]

hey if you ditch those 5 lug wheels let me know. i need to replace the cholorims on my 95.

 

[TheBeast_88K5]

Will do.

Well I can live with that look.
As long as I can see a full circle tire I am OK.
Some of the others u posted were lower.

 

[TheBeast_88K5]

They just look lower, because there is less tire.
Low-pro's and all....

Love the 67-72 C10s

I mean the fender is covering the tire. I don't like that.

 

[TheBeast_88K5]

Me either... Like the guys that drag frame.
That's too much.

I think that -4/6 is the lowest you can go, while still retaining that classic Chevy look.

Since I'm bored, at home....



This is (close to) what it will look like dropped, with a '69 grill/bumper.

Then.... On Rally's!

I'm seriously considering just sanding it a bit, and clearing over the 'Patina'.
I like the Farm Fresh look.

 

[max 02]

Isn't that a 71/ 72 grill.

 

[TheBeast_88K5]

I don't fuggin know....

It was on a '69, in the picture.

 

[flynhawaiian]

Pretty sure 69-70 never came with blinkers in the bumper either.

 

[NorCal69]

That's the 71-72 grill and bumper.
