Here it is!! Still have to level the stance, wiring, and lots of little things, but she moved on her own today!!!

matthufham · 05-08-2006, 10:04 PM

you like that stance? well other than that, i love your truck, but i think it has too much rake, and i'd lose the slider back window.

jbon64 · 05-08-2006, 10:05 PM

NICE !!!!! i'm not a big fan of the big inch wheels , but i must say they look "right" on your truck . once again .....NICE

Nice truck !!! Congrats - It really is worth the effort when you are done !!!

stllookn · 05-08-2006, 10:27 PM

I saw a very similar restoration here about 4 years ago...the exact same color with a big block. It was a full stock restoration with the exception of Torque Thrust wheels and it was lowered. It sold for $22,000 and then won a big rod show the following month. Nice job and I love the color!

What a great looking truck. Have any more pics to post?

**Yukon Jack** · 05-09-2006, 10:08 AM

Lots to like with that truck - you have done a great job!

**Tom Vogel** · 05-09-2006, 10:34 AM

You might consider the ECE airbag setup for the rear... Youll love it. (Youll be able to put stuff in the back and choose your stance instantly as you desire)
PS... Id loose the slider too.

71SWBChevy · 05-09-2006, 10:38 AM

That is a sweet truck, I agree it would look better without the slider, get a light tint as well, but it isn't mine so if you like it the way it is that is awesome to!

lukecp · 05-09-2006, 03:22 PM

Awesome...thanks for keeping it OCHRE!

CPNEJR · 05-09-2006, 03:25 PM
