cut half a coil off the front and about 1 coil off the rear....

might be a little much though.

255/35/20 tires.... i believe the wheels are 8.5" wide, can't remember for sure.

went to a cruise in with my FIL. he took a blazer him and his son built. it's got an L98/700r4 in it from a 90ish Z28 camaro. First time it's left his neighborhood in probably close to 10 years. that was pretty cool to see it getting some mileage put on it... http://i841.photobucket.com/albums/zz339...

here's my clunker on 20" wheels...

I believe they're XD D-Back wheels.

here it is on wheels.... it needs to come down pretty bad. i'm not sure i can get the front low enough to look good and it still be driveable though. http://i841.photobucket.com/albums/zz339/iniviate/Mobile%20Uploads/IMAG0216_zps1864d6c6.jpg trying out chrome and black center caps. i think i want so...

i agree that they would look good, but the junkyards around here want too much for them....

thats going to look mean, i love the patina on your truck. i like the patina too.... i'd love to get a nicer drivers side fender, but it wouldn't match, so i'm torn. I think the black wheels will look good. thanks. i hope so. these trucks have a huge wheel well. seems like they really need like a 2...

i put the bed in it, but apparently i suck at taking pics. here's what i've got. the hole in the back is for the gas cap... http://i841.photobucket.com/albums/zz339/iniviate/zpfile002_zps580d19a0.jpg http://i841.photobucket.com/albums/zz339/iniviate/zpfile003_zps2fc873a6.jpg went to a cruise in with...

this looks like what i need.... do you know who sells it?

not really, i've got an F350 with bad injectors. I think it's my next project after i get all the bugs worked out of the sweptline.

nah, i scrapped the frame.... the cummins is sitting in my garage still.

it needs wheels for sure. i'm just not sure what to get. i've been keeping an eye on craigslist, maybe something cool will pop up.

i originally started with a '94 dodge 2500 frame. i was going to make it cummins powered..... but it was just too different from the sweptline frame to keep it low.

it's registered as a '68 d100. here in north florida they don't check much of anything. no smog, no inspections, etc.

What are you guys doing that have little ones that want to ride in your old truck? My kids are dying to ride in my truck, but i'm a little uneasy letting them ride without shoulder belts. So far it's only been on short rides around the neighborhood, or up to the gas station. The kids are 5 and 10 ye...

Put bumpers on it and had a better driveshaft made.... Runs 80 on the interstate like it ain,t no thing.

no doubt. its very motivating to finish things once you can finally drive it.
