Has anyone seen a Blue Typhoon with Vette wheels?

I'm just curious to see what it looks like... Or ever better, maybe a blue/grey with Mille Miglia wheels on it?

Thanks a lot for the replies guys.

Is it me, or on Darons Typhoon does the back wheel look a little close to the cladding? Maybe it's just the pic I don't know, but the Ty looks damn good.

That picture of Todd's I had on my Binder for school a long time ago, good looking truck.

How many Blue/Grey Typhoons did they make, And did they make them in only 1992 or 1993? Or both. (sorry for the newb Questions)


Thanks a lot guys.

I believe Aspen blue and grey were only made in 92, that is the color of Daron's, the royal blue and grey were made in 92 and 93 i think. Correct me if I am wrong guys. I dont think anyone has the true number produced.

The blue of Daron's and Todd's is '92 only. It seems each is slightly different also.

93's had the Royal blue, as Adam in Fl just purchased.

Both colors are rare. I think the 92's are more so though, using my very accurate Guess-o-Meter.

well if his ty is lowered(which is most likely), he probably didnt lower it right. if you just put blocks above the angled axle shim, the axle will move forward. you gotta put the block under the angled axle shim. i think there is a "how to" on the sytyarchives.

Yup thats me, Mr. Cant lower anything right... Those are flex-a-form fiberglass mono-leafs in the back, no blocks, no shims. Picture makes it look close, reality is that the difference is a 1/2 inch.

mine 92ty did the same thing with flex-a form springs, turns out i installed it wrong :oops: , the center alignment hole is not equal from the spring eye ends, there is about a 2inch difference, i turned mine around & it was centerd in the wheel like it should. :D

I measured, if I turned mine around, the effect would be even more drastic.. What do you think of the 90 ZR-1's on the Ty? I am not sure I like it..

Here is another view. I am not sure I like the wheels on the Ty as much as I like them on the Sy...

I'm not diggin the 91s on the Ty. I think its better with the other ones and the 91s look good on the Sy, just my opinon.

nah.. little to crazy of a mod for me to ruin my stocker blue...

all money and crazy stuff goes towards the sy... the bluegry stays stock in order to keep it at least one of our trucks on the road most of the time :roll:
