The Custom Conversion Truck Thread

[Jimmy D]

Is there a relatively complete list of the truck and van conversion companies during the 90s here somewhere? I can remember a few such as Marklll, Choo Choo Customs and Texas show trucks. Some specialized in 1/2 to 3/4 ton pkups and vans and others specialized in 1 ton tow rigs. Our local Chevy dealer sold Mark lll trucks which consisted of 10" wheels and low pro tires, fender flares and rockers, split dual pipes, pin stripe and very little interior bits, oh and the monochromatic paint, even the bed pipe rails were painted instead of chromed.

So many nice trucks ruined with the addition of those god awful molded running boards/ground effects.

I think on 2wd most of it looks pretty dang good!

Here's a decent list of some of them: http://1990suburban.com/conversion_packages/chevy_suburban_conversion_packages.cfm

Not sure if that website's up anymore, doesn't seem to work for me.

And I think so many nice trucks get ruined by the blackout look or riding on 22s, but we all have our opinions.

Usually when I see that style of rim, they have trialer tires on them.... not sure if there's anything special, or lesser about the rim like the ST tires, Though.

It's the MB Wheels (Discount Tire house brand) / American Outlaw Wheels "Legacy" in 8 lug. Not a whole lot of options in 8 lug for custom wheels that are close to factory fitments.
