ouu i noticed they make a similar "baja" 15x10 or 16x10 rim is the extra thickness worth it??? or do you think i should get the same as you and keep the 8 inches wide? thanks for the help by the way
No problem and your welcome. It's been my belief that skinny tires are better in mud than fat ones. Thats just my opinion, I'm sure you would get people from both sides telling your their thoughts. It's all in the look you are going for.
what kinda rims cuz i like the thickness for the tires....lol what size tires tooo i want to hook my 97 grand cherokee laredo up with ones just like this
They are 15" x 8" American Racing's "Mohave" wheels. The tires are 32". Right now I am out of the country until July so I can't get you the exact size of the tire.
Those tires look awfully small for 32 inch, I have 265/70/R16's on 16 inch rims on my 72' and they look the same size, maybe its just me haha, Nice truck.
Yeah but your truck looks like it sits no higher then my 72? I'd have to see it in person to determine that, must be the 15 inch rims that are throwing me off
damn nice man i got a 72 c/10 2wd i been working on for about 3 years put the motor together and done the bodywork my self just got motor and trans back in it about 3 weeks ago and got it n primer 350 with elder rpm heads and intake with a 750 holley carb 60 over flat top pistons 292 comp cam .490 .490 lift roller rockers and a pete jackson gear drive accell fireing system i love your truck tho looks like you drive it every day
Very nice truck I've owned 3 well 5 diff. chevy truck that body style. I had a 69 1/2 ton GMC turned into a chevy, a 68 3/4 ton chevy, a 72 Custom/10 chevy, a 3/4 ton 71 GMC I have right now, and a 67 C/10 short bed chevy I have right now also. I love these trucks so much. Very nice truck thou man I haven't had one that nice yet, but plan to restore the 67 short bed this spring and summer well driving it.
Thanks, They are fun trucks and parts can be had easy. This truck needs alot of body work to be perfect. It's my daily driver and will have to wait it's turn behind my other 2 projects.
hey dude. that is one gorgeous old chevy. my granddaddy had a 1970 model 4x4, same color and everything. it wasnt in that good of shape though. he was going to give it to me as my 16th birthday present, but sadly he got hit by a drunk driver one night and it killed him. just want to say that seeing your truck brings back great memories and a tear to my eye!!
SOUNDS NICE!!! I have that same crate motor in my SS Monte. I hope it sounds just like this when we get her in and fired up. Wish you had more footage. Warren
