Its Done!!!
Well it is never Done. But It is looking good. I wanted to say thanks to all that support this forum. There is so much info here and the support from members is second to none. I would have never been able to do so much of the work myself without this forum. It took 2 years to do from engine to body work. Never out of commission for more that a few weeks at a time. It is a daily driver/ work truck. Kinda looks like a old man truck but I like it. She starts everyday and is easy to get along with. All that is left is a 2" lift and some tires. THANKS TO ALL FOR YOUR HELP!!!!!!

Good job, that turned out really nice! I appreciate a clean stock or near-stock look on these rigs. Old man truck? Well maybe so, but it sure looks great to this old man!

Re: Its Done!!!
I like that it looks like it is STILL ready to provide a days work, able to compete with younger and supposedly more advanced versions of "modern" pickups.
While it is decidedly nice, it also still looks like a truck, fit for plywood haulin', trailer haulin', and general manly type behavior....... Fine job.....looks like it's ready for ANOTHER 40 years of service.... ![]() Any idea on how big your tires are gonna end up being and are you using the current rims on those tires? |

Re: Its Done!!!
You can easily fit a 32" to 33" tall tire with a 2" lift... but I wouldn't go too wide, especially with those wheels. Are they 15" or 16", and do you know the rim width?

Re: Its Done!!!
What size tires do you have on there now? I actually like the look of those rallies.
