Long beds are cool and that is a nice truck.

bobthecop · 03-23-2007, 11:47 AM

I like the "clean" look, very nice.

Rollie396 · 03-23-2007, 12:13 PM

I like that alot!I'm not usually a big fan of rolled pans but for some reason it works on your truck.
Was the stereo moved to the glovebox?

Hello Rollie396,

I have no stereo right now. It has taken 9 months to get to where I'm @, there was alot to do on this truck. I'm waiting on the bed wood (should be here in another week or so.) This is the last thing I have to get done before I put it on the road this May. The dash was butchured by the PO so I filled in where the radio should be. I have not quite decided if I will put the stereo in the factory location or not. This could be a good spot for gauges as well. Bed first then budget for a stereo next is the plan for now.

esll.

Blue'72 · 03-23-2007, 12:27 PM

Hi Blue'72,

Front wheel / tire combo is BF Goodrich Radial T/A P275/50R X 15.

Rear wheel / tire combo is BF Goodrich Radial T/A P305/50R X 15.

**********************************************************

Thinking of changing to P305/60R X 15 for the Rear. Undecided as to what to do .... What do you think???

I personally think a little taller tire would look nice if you're planning on raising it 1.5" in the front.

Here's mine if you hadn't seen it already. This was 3/4 springs with 235, 255/60's.

My goal is to have my truck looking like yours!!

someday hopefully.....

Hi Blue,

Be patient as you have your plate full, Ive been there and I got mine and you will to. My daughter Heidi is 24 and she was over visiting the other day and she needed back tires for her Sunfire so we all made a day of it and went to the wreckers. Found a nice set of tires, afterwards we went home and had a good family dinner. A perfect day for a car guy.

snj8198 · 03-23-2007, 12:29 PM

that is too cool.

Chevyholic · 03-23-2007, 12:53 PM

That is very clean!! Love the wheels/stance too! Keep up the great work.

stingray72 · 03-23-2007, 01:14 PM

super nice.. looks great!

Joe67 · 03-23-2007, 01:21 PM

Great combo - satin and chrome - nice rig

SacramentoJoe · 03-23-2007, 01:55 PM

That's pretty inside and out. No markers, smooth. Longbeds are cool and GMC grills look great. And Heck, I don't even know what a rolled pan is but everything sure goes well together.

Love your profile pic - I have wore out a couple pairs of TEVAs

Hi there Sacramento Joe,

A roll pan is the metal strip which is about 4' X the width of the truck above the exhaust tips. It fills the space that is created by not using a bumper.

I used "SEM Trim" paint. Wash with Zip car wash, towel dry and forget about it. Good top coat, durable and easy to touch up.

68jimmy · 03-23-2007, 02:46 PM

Very Nice! Nothing like that GMC grill...

Keep up the good work.

72BigBlockSuprCustom · 03-23-2007, 02:47 PM

i love the color. i was thinking of painting my truck flat black as well, or would your color be considered satin black?

do you get any trouble for not having any side mirrors, or have you yet to install them?
