my truck have a look

Hey this is my first car/truck I never got around to posting anything about it. It's an 86 silverado, put split exaust flowmasters on it, just got it back from paint a few weeks ago, my painter is working on the tailgate which has the chevrolet cut out with plexiglass and leds behind it, have some plans just waiting for time and money, hope you enjoy.

That is my all time favorite body style for that generation truck. Sweet color also.

Re: my truck have a look

That's really nice. It would look good dropped a little bit, if you are into that sort of thing...

Re: my truck have a look

It's looking nice...

Should look good with a drop as well. I'm guessin' wheels are in order...


BTW, are you missing some lugnuts? ...maybe it's just the angle.

It's a straight 5" drop (5" in front/5" in rear). I tried to drop the rear a bit more, but lost the rake. It ended up with a Cali-roll. But, it may have been the angle/illusion of the pic.
