Hey guys! Ive posted a few times before but was waiting for the right truck to come along. but for the life of me i couldn't find what i wanted for a reasonable price. Well luckily for me, that has all changed! I've had a bunch of bagged minis and cars, but this is my first full size truck.

The details:

-1993 Chevy C-3500
-454, auto trans, 2wd
-Crew Cab
-Black exterior, Red interior

right now its sitting nice and low on factory wheels. body is in good shape, interior is in good shape as well. one of the dually fenders is cracked, and the windshield is cracked from one side clean across to the other. it goes in tomorrow for a new windshield and new tint, so ill be sure to post pics of that when its done. Also going in tomorrow to pick up some used 22.5" Alcoa's. those probably wont go on for a bit, as i need to find someone local to machine them. id send them to TN wheel and tire, but shipping from Canada would kill me. what tire size are you guys running on your 22's? i have a set of 235/30/22, but this seems to small for such a big truck... And don't worry TN, ill be coming your way for adapters!

anyways, on to the pics! these were taken the day i picked her up.

Hahaha, hauled some scrap that day! i love duallies!

quality isn't the greatest as they were taken from my phone, but i hope you guys like em, and ill post more as stuff gets done. And don't worry, that ridiculous SS sticker is already gone!

welcome back around man. great looking truck for sure. i like it. sounds like you have some good ideas. great start. and yea, shipping on those wheels would be high im sure. but, you never know man. trevor aka lockone twat is a awesome guy to deal with. im sure he would do his best to help you. plus, the peace of mind of knowing trevor is properly doing your wheels would help me accept paying higher bill . haha either way, good luck man. looking forward to more progress.

Actually the windshield isn't tinted. The rest of the truck is though.

The wheels are on hold for right now, I'm just starting a new job so once my finances have stabled out ill get back on it. I have a guy locally that will sell 22.5" for $100 each used, and another guy selling 24.5" for 120 each. So I'm on the fence. I want to go bigger, but I don't wanna destroy the driveability.

Is it possible to even run 24s with a static? Or do the hit the leaf springs?

love the truck man. as far as the wheels go, those are good/average prices for non milled wheels. so , good find !! just be careful and hope there not damaged, stress cracked ect. thats the only downside to buying used, but that doesnt scare me, haha as im going to buy used also. i hear ya on the 24s as opposed to 22s. i really want to run 24s but i dont know yet. but to answewr your question, yes, you can run 24s on a static. i dont know if you can run all 6 24s on a static, unless you run a c&c . im not positive. but, most guys run 24s on the outside and teen inners on the inside. check out wideload c 30s truck. hes fucking slammed static wise. hes got like a 6/10 drop or something nuts. and hes on 24s with teen inners.
