There is the important key. Fits the total look. That tint works with those wheels and the rest of the truck but would not work with wide whites and hubcaps or even with 15 inch chrome reverse wheels. I know some guys probably get tired of me saying it all the time but every part you put on your truck and everything you do to it has to contribute to "the look" that is in the master plan and should not distract from that plan.

48 Chev 3100 that will run a 292 Six.
71 GMC 2500 that is getting a Cad 500 transplant.
77 C 30 dualie, 454, 4 speed with a 10 foot flatbed and hoist. It does the heavy work and hauls the projects around.
