Just a Truck.

Came out really nice.


Lookin' forwart on this!

What style are you going for?


The rims from a '03 S10 would look cool imo.

Thanks man. Progress is slow and going but i am doing it on a budget due to college and other normal life bills.

Yeah those are ZQ8 wheels. It was a package that came on the s-10's before they stop making them. I have pondered before getting these but they are a 16'' x 8'' wheel and i wanted something a little bigger.

I am on a "MB Old School Tork Thrust" wheel which is 17'' x 9'' with 4.5inch back spacing right now BUT.... once college is payed off i am going to invest in a 3-piece wheel and possible chance of bags. I am having fun being static now and going lower come summer when i get a little extra cash.

i'd look into some c6 corvette wheels u can get them off craigslist with tires for pretty cheap and theres a lot of different styles. Thats what i'm getting for my bravada you'll need spacers though since yours is 2wd.

I looked into C6 Wheels as well as a set of C5 wheels at one point but backed away from them because i went with a wheel nobody ever puts on a s-10 or a mini truck in general. The C6 wheels look nice but there original and i like to NOT be original. Chevy s-10 bolt pattern sucks as well so wheel selection is crap unless you get adapters.

By the end of the year i will have a 3-piece wheel on this truck. I will promise everyone that! Just have to decide what wheel/size/ect.

well i'm poor/cheap so i'm not very picky lol either way it'll look really good

Yeah i was poor/cheap when i first got the truck as you can tell by the pictures also didn't know much about the truck at all. Now i know just about everything about it. Yeah i am picky with certain things. Thanks man as long as i keep progress with it i am happy. The wheels and lowness may not be there but i am going in the right direction.

Before putting on my spacers and also doing an oil change i took the time to show measurements on frame heights.

Rear Block Shackle height.

The nipple like Transmission support. I am going to cut and modify it so i can go lower.

The lowest spot in the front which is my control arms.

THERE HERE! The the height of the Bottom of the body of the truck to the bottom of the frame. This is why when you bag an s-10 you do a body drop so you can be as low as possible. My truck may not look low but that's because of this reason.

Got the truck sitting next to my Pop's toy. Built it from a junker back when he was 19 and this is what it looks like now today.

Test fitted the spacers finally. I am not going to to put them on for good until i redo my whole brake system which will be in a few weeks.

These are 50mm H&R Spacers.

Here's a side pick of the rear. I will be going another 2-3 inch in the back depending on cash flow.

looks really good

[way2fastx3]

Stumbled over this truck while figuring out what i want to do for new wheels come end of summer.
I want to do a 3-piece wheel and always wondered what one looked like on my truck without doing a Photoshop.
I am going to dig deep into the internet to see if i can get wheel spec's or any other info on the truck.

I don't want a green faces of course but this is the look i am going for... Besides the fact I AM NOT on bags

Want to here some opinions from you guys on the idea of a 3-piece wheel. I am all ears.

Close! Its a 73' Nova. Yeah it sits there. Me and my pop's are going to redo the whole brake system with a C6 Corvette setup in a few weeks to it. Thanks, the trucks coming along. Slower than i want but it works.

[milano_red]

Yea my dad had a 73 ss for about 25 year. I know the only difference between the 74 and 73 is the bumpers I think lol

She a little dirty but there she is. The spacer are "NOT"on. I am redoing my whole brake system next weekend so then they will go on. Can't wait to sit the ass end of the truck on the ground in a month or so.

She tucking good in the front. I am on a meaty tire but it goes with the wheels. My finger is jammed up in there. I think i am going to get a spacer plate for the front to get a little more flush going on.

Thanks. Yeah once the ass of the truck is level with the front its going to look and be alot lower. My meaty tires kill the height in the truck.
