Thx, they are 15x8 alum

Looks like you need to start a build thread! Just promise it won't be as long as Hugh's...that's what she said!
 
SK8, your rims are exactly what I am looking for, 15x8.... where did you get them or what did they come off of ? Thanks and I will probably have to give you a call when I do my SOA. Don't know how to do the cut and turn on the knuckles. :D
 
Took all for door off of the 60 today. Found a bunch more rust:frown:. Anybody know where to get rear 1/4's ? Looks like I am going to need rear 1/4's and rocker panels. So if anybody knows of someone parting out a 60 real close and don't mind cutting up a truck, let me know..:beer:
 
Made a cargo barrier on the cheap.

Unloaded the truck from this past weeks camping trip to Cataloochee in the GSMNP . My daughters first camping trip and she loved it. My wife and her slept in the truck and I chose to sleep in my tent. My daughter likes to kick in the night so I figured my balls would appreciate sleeping in the tent. :)

Replaced all the tie rod ends (broke one at SCC), made major adjustments to the hydro ram and minor fab to the mounts, did a garage alignment, and repositioned the pittman arm a notch or two.

Results:
-Death wobble has been reduced to a manageable vibration from "shake your teeth out, can't get over 45mph, OMG I think I'm gonna die".
-Left and right turn radius are finally about the same.
-Steering wheel is just about in the right position.

Maybe now the next trip to Windrock won't take off 10% of the tread on my Swampers due to all the driving at higher speeds and on paved roads. Not to mention that similar scenario coming out of The Cove.
 
Just wanted to post a quick thanks to Matt for going above and beyond to keep all the local 40s on the road up here in Clarksville. He helped me with my TREs and front axle service a few weeks ago and the next weekend spent another day replacing the front axle on Nate's ride. Thanks again! :steer:
 
Unloaded my camping stuff from this weekend. So I pulled in from the run at WINDROCK today and my wife bought this 2007 yesterday!! Now her old 2003 LC is gonna be my DD.

sounds like a GOLDEN opportunity to build the 80! 39's and armored to the hilt, I can see it now.
 
Pretty sweet purchase
