Post by: mikeith on May 19, 2007, 02:08:49 pm
sold the boyd 20's becaus i wanna go to 20's and 22's! i've narrowed it down to these two but i cant decide which ones i want to go with... maybe you guys can help bonspeed quiksilvers(to the left) or intro rallys(on the right) i couldn't find any pictures of the quiksilvers mounted to a truck but i found some of the rally's(red truck) which do you guys think i should go with

The bonspeed would look slick. Those other ones look like oversized Weld Dragstars.

Post by: Captkaos on September 05, 2007, 10:41:26 am
I wouldn't say that, mine won't crank/run.... yet.  I need to attach the tilt to the frame and the bed needs going over before it is straight.

Check this page out:  http://www.loweredd.com/Frame_Z.html

A stock floor bodydrop has nothing to do with the body, it is really called a Frame Z.  Not sure why someone started calling it that but it has been known as Z-ing the frame forever.

Well, your truck looks good too Cap, I had it as my desktop picture for a while(I liked the body mods and the impala wheels).  But yeah, Mikeith you got a nice truck man.
