That is one NICE truck, how would you two tone it, i mean color, what do you have in that beast for a motor!

No 2 tone! If you choose to 2 tone the truck anyway, a group of us will hunt you down and swap it for a Ford!

Nice Truck!:metal:

IMO its perfect......I would not change a thing.......Looks Awesome...but i could possibly see a stripe all the way down the side say bout 3or4 inches wide.......But IMO not a two tone...Just something that would break it up.......It looks way to good now.....Again great job

that is one badass truck, I would not two-tone. There are a lot of stock twotone paint schemes that look great, but yours is perfect as is. :metal:

i guess i'll be different i would 2 tone it with a black on top and either a silver or lime green pinstripe to seperate the 2 colors

Thanks for all of the comments . It makes you feel a whole lot better when other people like it I wasnt sure on the color alot of red trucks running around. For the questions the motor is a 454 stroked to a 496 roughly around 600 HP I hope . The rear wheels are 15x12 with a 5 1/2 back space . The 9" F*** rear end was narrowed . Front wheels are 15x6 with 3 1/2 back space with a 1/4 spacer . I will take some more updatded pics tonight I have some of my interior in , Just waiting on my seat .

Thanks again for the comments

One last answer the tire size is rear 29x15.50 fronts are 205/75/15 they need to be a little shorter i think.

That is one SWEET ride! Dont change a thing. Did you have to 4link the rear or did you stay leaf spring?

Awesome looking truck so far. I really like the paint as is. I totally agree with moneyeater as well. :metal::metal:

Don't change anything! Looks great as it is! I really like that shade of red! What shade of red is that? Looks to me like Torch Red, which is my favorite shade of red! ...Joe

your truck is looking great I wouldn't change a thing. I have a few questions though. how much did you narrow your rear end and are you still running leaf springs? I am trying to get some more tire under my 73 stepside shop truck. also if you dont mind how much is it lowered?

Im not a big fan of red, but that looks awesome! leave it one solid color, its hard to two tone a stepside and make it look as good.
