Here is mine before my 15 inch chrome rims but maybe someone could photodrop it and throw a set of wheels on it to better suit the thread, enjoy.

Mt truck is 2.5/4 with 15" wheels, 255/70/15 tires all the way around. Not quite what you are looking for, but close.

See the second and third pics in my gallery:

Here is my old light blue and gray truck - not lowered, but it's mostly the right color:

McSwine, that is a nice truck! Since I no longer own that one, I don't feel at all guilty saying I prefer the mirrors and pinstriping on your truck. Anything else done to it?

Believe it or not, I flew in to Little Rock and drove that truck back to Austin.

I had been looking at this truck for years; the guy who owned it lived next door to a friend of mine. His parents were the original owners. I know he spent a ton of money getting it repainted, and he also had a 350 crate motor put in it. He also put a (loud) dual exhaust on it. That's about it.

But he got cancer and died several years ago, and his parents held on to it for about 3 years before deciding to sell it. My buddy told me and I bought it.

The dash is cracked, but other than that it looks (and drives) great.

swine, any ideas about the side molding? is it stock or did you put it on?

It looks aftermarket to me. The piece on the rear of the bed doesn't appear to be the factory aluminum corner trim. It looks like it wraps around the end of the bedside.

I've done nothing to the truck, other than put some turbo mufflers/ X-pipe on it and replace the a/c compressor.

I would assume the moldings are stock, but I don't know for sure.

You may be right. I got some 90 degree looking trim when I bought the truck, maybe that's some of the pieces that were replaced.

It's not a 2wd, but it's got 16.5 inch rims. That's close to 17! Or how about an older pic when it rode on 15's?

McSwine... damn good looking truck.

I realize this isn't really what you asked for... but I like posting pictures anyways. :lol:
