Nice truck!

Great stance on the truck, a nicely tucked front bumper would top (er front) it off well.

Thanks guys. I have a front roll pan to put on but it is fiberglass and it doesn't fit too well. If I can't get to work I will try your tucked bumper idea. I never thought of that!

I like your wheels/stance. I know Wheel Vintiques carries them. What size are yours? Did you tub the rear? Thanks, Daniel U

Yes they are Wheel Vintiques 15X7", I can't remember the backspacing. The tire size is 235/60r15 all the way around. I didn't realize how little room there is in the rear for a tire without tubbing it which I did not do. I might have to consider mini tubbing it to get a bigger tire under it. I don't want to alter the frame but my 454 isn't going to be easy on the 235's!

Notice, the houses all look similar but I'll bet no one has a pick up like yours! Nice job.

Any chance you have time to take a shot from the rear(down low)?

Like this shot.

Are those wheels as big as will fit in the rear? What rear end are you using? Thanks for the pics. Daniel U
