Good start. Laying rockers on a 22/24 combo will be sweet!

I've been a 67-72 guy for years but have had a few squares as well. Alot easier to find one of these that dont need alot of rust repair. I agree the wheels stink. Rest of the truck looks great. I would either do 20s all around or 20 and 22s. Again, very nice looking truck.

Re: I finally made the plunge
 
looks good, id go 20s or22s, nothin else though. looks like we have the same problem of hating our wheels, but yours are still better than mine!
