Ole Red is back rollin'

Post by Reds Rod Shop »

Upgraded front brakes to disc, flipped the rear axle, new mastercylinder, lowered the front and now I need some pretty weather to put some miles on the new wide white walls. Hopefully, I got the picture upload figured out.

For pics it's best to load into photobucket. Then highlight the bottom code next press the control button & the letter c at the same time. go to your posting in Slick 60's and press control & the letter v at the same time, it will now show in your post.

Coker tire. They are 8" wide with the Firestone cheater slicks. I swapped out the rear axles and changed over to 5 on 4.5 lug pattern on the front and rear.

WOW! She's a beauty Red! The stance is perfect, IMO. Smilie_4_Revan.gif

I'm going to forward that pic to a chebbie buddy of mine. I'm trying to get him to leave "the dark side," and something like that might do it for him!

it's amazing what wheels and stance will do for the look of a truck.

Red, I love the look!, it got me thinking about my colour scheme! with a door panel of our plumbing company est 1977 8) .

one question tho!, does it pull to the right?, cause you missed the driveway! :lol: kidding!, nice Slick!

Red, What car did you get the axles out of? How did you go 5-4.5 in the front? Nice ride! Thanks, Russ
