Lowering a 54?

I wonder if the front rims are the same size as the rear. Maybe both are 15" but the rear are wider. And I wonder what the tire sizes are. That is a nice looking truck. Wonder if it was in a FIRE! ;)

Good looking truck, nice stance.......big/little combo.

The wheels have been powder coated cream and are 16's in the back, and 15's in the front wrapped in brand new Coker Firestone bias ply tires (7.50x16 rear) and (6.00x15 front) tires with the original stock stainless hubcaps.

 

 

Again, I am quoting the ad. Truck isn't even here until Monday.

I lowered my 54 by removing a leaves then recentering the steering prior to doing a full suspension swap, it looked awesome but the ride was just ok, I finally ended up taking it to a truck spring shop and having the springs re-arc'd to give me back the ride, I put some good shocks on it, but the stability still just wasnt there for me when i removed leaves...depends on how much you drive it i guess

I removed several of the rear springs (especially two massive overload springs) and added 2" blocks on the rear of my '48, and she looks fine!!!!

I'd be interested in seeing some pics?
