Thread: 53 Is back from the Body Shop

Ya, my wife told me to stick my face in the head light hole, I didn't know that I was giving some provocative while I was posing , it is fun to look at though .That one may be a bit rim overkill for me. As for ride height, I guess I would say normal if there is such a thing. It will be a daily driver so some ride comfort and practicability is needed. Thanks for the link though, it is a nice guide of what direction to go.

You can google 53 chevy pickup and see a wide variety of pics with various wheel/tire combinations.

I've googled my brains out looking at wheels on these pickups, but like you found, nobody has rim specs or size listed. I talked to my local tire guy and I'll have him help me out and order from him. He is too great of a guy not to give business to and his boy is just starting to take over now also, so I think I will help them out.

Did a little more messing with the seat brackets again tonight. I'm getting closer to what will work good but not quite there yet. I am at the top of my height range so I need to lower things about 3/4 inch to get things in the middle to adjust tilt and so.I will do that by getting rid of the stands on the bottom of the slide rails. The rails are off of the 2000 Chevy pickup seats I was originally going to use. At least I'll use part of them.
