Here is my new Daily Driver

1986 Chevy Silverado..power everything. She has a Crate Motor 350, brand new 700R4 tranny, shift kit, GM 10 bolt rearend with custom shafts (30 spline 4x4 shaft cut down) headers, race heads, forged internals, holly 750 carb and highrise intake. Brand new AC (everything) very clean and VERY FAST! I will post more of the details when I get through all the receipts.

One question.... what tires should I put on her? Those are 10x15 rims...any suggestions? Tire size right now is 275/60R15. let me know..I need to get some this week!!!!

Very Nice!! Do you plan on keeping the same rims, or are you looking at upgrading those too? If so, what size are you thinking about? As for the tires, keep in mind that altering the diameter of the tire will throw out your speedometer/odometer readings. There are many tire size calculators on the net that can assist you in maintaining the correct diameter while getting a whole new size and look tire. They can also show you the speed differential. Here's one that I just Googled...
