need opinions

[ezernut9mm]

bring 'em!
ok. my wife has been laid off for almost two months and money's getting tight. i'm pretty good at clinching the fist in a sqeeze and making ends meet so i'm not too worried there, but her absence of work has me doing what i do and that's cut from the bottom up.
the 66 project is going. i have already made deals to sell some big ticket items from the the truck that will let me pay off some stuff and get my overhead a little lower. so that gives me some breathing room and that's what i need right now.
the actual question that i need opinions on is this; i have two 8" wide 15's with new tires that i have no intention of selling. it took too long to find these and i am hanging on to them come hell or high water.
so, i want to put them on the 70. i also want to lower it with the "free" cut coils and spring hanger flip. should i?
that is the question.

btw, i am talking about the green (gold) farm truck in my sig.

I thought the green truck was a '70? I say lower it and put the 15's

Do it! It would look good. I wish mine sat like your yellow one.

[Ranchero50]

Cheep and free are two good things right now.

Put the wheels on and do lower it. it will bring a smile to your face!

I say blast and paint the wheels 8's out back stock on front. I think red with caps aqnd rings would do alot. Do the flip and coil cut , you did the work you know how it comes out and whats involed. Cake walk for a stepper like you. Again my jusy my . I know you you'll come out OK. you got my number if ya want to kick it around.

tony, you really think red would look good on this old green (gold) truck? i'm thinking boring old wimbleton white. i have a bad color to work with and am having a hard time with what color to paint the wheels.

I say do it, make it a sleeper. If you are not going to change the paint anytime soon I say leave the wheels alone to match the aged look of the truck. What color are the 15's? If you are going to paint them I say go with flat black and use the same dog dish hubcaps you have or find some faded chrome dog dish.

Ok maybe not the bright red but I think something like the old rustoleum primer red would set it apart from most. Lowered with the white and 8's out back gonna look like a slot car just my

the 8's are perfect just the way they sit, but i don't think i can match the fronts. check 'em out.

Yeah Do It!............. I have 15" on mine with 235/70/15 tires, cut the coils(start with 1 full coil) to see how ya like it. Just remember the camber problem youll go thru tires faster, ALSO Its a bumpy ride but has an attitude like you are going for. Here in so.cal there are soooo many cars on the road I gotta drive slow anyways so might as well be lowwwww!

I agree Chris the patina<sp> on the 8's is dead on , and I just might have the mates for the front in my shed. You'll figure it out friend.

Check the yellow truck(tear in my eye) in his sig line, ezer has the lowering on a budget down to an art(although not as low as yours ) been there, done that, "DESIGNED" the T shirt. I had the pleasure of driving"goldilocks" and it was right when he finished it.
