Hey guys,
I'm new here. My name is Jason and I have a '53 gmc 1/2 ton on a '76 chevy frame. I have several things I'd like to change about the truck. I have already read several threads on this subject on your forum but couldn't find one specific to my truck. It appears from what I've read that I'm out of luck but I'll ask anyway..... What is the best/cheapest way to get my front tires closer to being underneath my front fenders? Also, the 350 motor/350 auto transmission don't stay cool. It slowly rises up. There's no indication of a blown head gasket or a stopped up radiator. I'm wondering if my radiator is just too small and if so, if there's a cheap way to get a smaller radiator. I actually read somewhere on the internet that a 70's ford LTD radiator might fit.
Anyway, I prefer the look of an original truck but like the pb, ps, and independent front suspension of a modified truck.
I was thinking that maybe I could try some 14 X 6 wheels up front with about a 1" positive offset and fairly narrow tires to try to get the wheels further under the fenders. Any ideas?
Thanks ahead for any comments,
Jason
