Bill,
Nice job......lookin good!

 

Nice truck, the stance is great. Good luck. ........RUSTY

 

Here is a couple pics w the new tires. Later, Bill

 

Are you going to give this the same treatment as your '52 and leave the body as is?

 

Branden, ABSOLUTELY! :-) I just can't ruin 50 years of mother natures work.

Nicely done!!!!

I agree, great stance, no new paint. Only unconstructive criticism I offer is to replace the Harley(?) sticker with a pair of Mooneyes in the corner.

 

Way cool,
I like that look a lot, It is essentially the same look I am trying to achieve...hence the name 60 rat rad.

 

Wow! Please let us know how you like the ride. I've often thought about doing the same thing to my truck, but using the helper air springs as well.

 

I'll be ordering lowered shocks this week. Right now I have shorter shocks that fit but the ride is very bouncy. So I'm going to order the lowered shocks made for these applications.

Perfect Stance.

Now it needs to be too loud and too fast to be "just right" :-) :-) :-)

 

I agree with Bobby. I like a little more rake say 2-3 degrees. I think that comes from my muscle car days growing up.

 

The pictures posted towards the front of this thread look as if the truck doesnt have any rake or even slightly lower in the rear. These latest pics looks like there is a couple of degree forward rake. I don't know if thats just because we are looking at it from a different angle or what.

It does have a better rake now. The original pics have the same size tire front and back. Now the fronts are 2" shorter. Tires can always play tricks on the eyes.

Cool,

Its a good look. You definatley have the flair for preserving the natural patina as well.

Bobby
