It's a great looking truck. I'm running 225/40's and have folded the lip on the front fenders. Rubs a little at full lock, not a big deal. :) Quote Link to comment
Kingman Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 Here's my truck right the morning after I got her home Was gonna snag that for a buddy but he must have sold it to you before I got the chance. Good lookin little truck! Quote Link to comment
DRIFTSPORT620 Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 im gonna go with a smaller profile tire alot like what you have right now. the caster being changed when i lower the front end is making my wheels hit and be pushed closer to the front bumpers arch causing it to rub like crazy. i appreciate the compliment man. picked it up for 1500 bucks and bought the wheels for 125. tires were used so it didnt hurt me to try and get new ones 2eDeYe' date='07 December 2011 - 10:31 AM' timestamp='1323275477' post='588846']It's a great looking truck.

kneesamo Posted December 14, 2011 Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 Set-up a bum barrel, for some warmth, while workin' on the truck this evening. Worked great! Quote Link to comment

MYDAILYROUTINE Posted December 26, 2011 Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 Set-up a bum barrel, for some warmth, while workin' on the truck this evening. Worked great! Awesome idea! I'm going to do the same thing. It is cold here in Nevada and I've been freezing without a garage to stay warm in. Quote Link to comment
kneesamo Posted December 26, 2011 Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 Yeah, the barrel would keep it warm just enough around that area. If you were to walk ten feet away, say the near the roof of the Corvair, and there would be ice forming. Quote Link to comment
speedgato Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 How she was when I got her........................ How she is now..................................... New seats, lowered 3", painted stock steelies black, cleaned the HELL out of her, sparks, wires, cap and rotor. Oh, and a 3 puck clutch! A lot more fun now!! Plans are for new wheels, new interior and dash (the dash is really bad) and paint. Quote Link to comment
