Sweet 67.

Maybe all that you are looking for is some different wheels. I'll probobly be flamed for saying that but sometimes all that a vehicle needs to have a Totally different look is a new set of rims and tires.

Project? That's not a project....thats a driver!!!! Sweet lookin truck. I want to paint my 67 something very similar to that (maui blue). Don't know what's under the hood... but maybe an LS1/WS6 combo? 2 inch drop and some 16 inch torque thrust II rims. Can't always tell from pics, but the body and paint look pretty cherry. If this IS true, I'd leave her body alone, I love the color.

Looks like it's a six lug truck, Cragar SS wheels only come in 5 lug versions.

The wheels on there look good, if you are going to replace em PM me info maybe I'll take em off your hands.

I think the chrome wheels and an adjusted stance will make that a great truck.

That is the kinda truck most of us dream of owning, "IF", I changed anything it would only be the wheels and tires. The stance on that truck is perfect; best I've seen !!!

I love the look just the way it is. Of corse I am parshall (sp.) to the 8" Ralleys you now have on the truck. Truck is sweet. Does not look like a project.
