Know anything about this truck?

Post by Beef Stew »

I googled 'grabber blue' and found this bitchin looking truck. IMHO, for not being super slammed, it has perfect stance and a perfect wheel/tire size combo. Does anyone know anything about this truck? How's it lowered and what size wheels/tires? Thanks!

Found out some more. Truck is a 67 and belongs to Jeff Weiss. Pic was taken at 2010 Goodguys Nats in Columbus, OH. Does anyone know Jeff?

It looks like a 68 to me.

I'm guessing that it had a CV swap and a (i think it's called a ) C frame notch on the back to match.

There's a fair amount of talk on this board about the CV swap, and other suspension/lowering topics. Do some browsing, or check the active topics, and you'll - no doubt - see some posts come by. Same goes for mechanical issues, rust repair, panel replacement. This forum is an excellent source of info for the do-it-yourself-er as well as the pay-the-guy-at-the-shop-er.

Best of luck! Once you've got your 68 starter truck, post some photos of it, and your progress! You'll get nothing but support from us! :)

Cheers,

I doubt it's a CV swap considering the deep backspacing on the wheels. I agree though it's a sharp looking truck.

A Nice Truck For Sure. Agree on the Deep wheels in the front and CV Swap.
