    88GMCtruck's 98 Silverado Towpig Build: "Black Fox"

    I'm very curious to see what the mileage will be. I drove it to work today ~80 miles round trip and it seems less thirsty. We will see. Thanks guys!

    I haven't driven it enough to check mileage but I know that I'm under 2,000 RPM at 60MPH and about 2,250 at 70.

    Here is some of the "behind the scenes" stuff. The spacers and valve stem extension. Also, good information for anyone with a DRW pickup with factory lugs and clamp rings. I did not know this until recently. The DRW trucks with clamp rings use a 90 degree acorn taper as opposed to the...

    I can't even set the wheels together, there is about 3/8" or so space, so yes I need to run a spacer. 235/85R16 tires rub in some cases without a spacer.

    Tons of people run spacers with dually wheels. These are solid steel spacers (not aluminum like many), and are hub centric to both the truck and wheel. I talked with the company that made them and they have had zero failures and offer a lifetime warranty. They will obviously be monitored...

    And, now for an update! Yeah they still aren't on. I know I'm just killing you all! All the parts showed up last night.... Sorta. The spacers are ready to roll but the hub rings needed signed for, and I was at work... *Doh* So off to the post office today to pick them up. Anyway, here...

    Well I did a little bit of lifting this weekend and some fitment checking. I have some pictures but I think it's best to wait :) I did have a little "incident". I was on my way to a party, ran into the store and left two of my friends in the truck. About 2 minutes in and one of my friends call...

    88GMCtruck's 98 Silverado Towpig Build: "Black Fox"

    Few random pictures over the last couple days... Wheels all polished up. They aren't prefect but they are good enough for a work truck. Right now I just have some teaser shots as I was pretty busy getting the truck together, so no full-on/complete yet :) Tires should be in today...
