Welcome to the forum and great looking truck. That shift knob looks very interesting. Watch your knees and palms on that one. What are you plans with the truck?

firestopper · 06-19-2013, 01:36 PM

Nothing right now, just really loving the way it looks right now....though its rough as hell with air bags! lol,

1963c-10 · 06-19-2013, 01:42 PM

Very cool, keep us update with pictures and status changes...

You'll find quite a few members here from Canada also...check the regional forum.

Outstanding! Nice looking truck, I'm glad you're already having fun with it. Welcome to the forum!

K98AL · 06-19-2013, 02:20 PM

Mighty cool! How about a close up of those wheels? Are they stock? What kind of center are you running?

Just some steel rims with chrome spider caps. Not 100% sure on the color yet, but it is growing on me.

Great truck. Enjoy.

My mother was born in Canada. Love your truck. Welcome to the forum and keeps us posted. Thanks for coming aboard.

jesseo · 06-19-2013, 05:31 PM

Very cool ride. Watch your knees on the doors too. They don't call em knee knockers cause it sounds cool.

**62 Longbed** · 06-19-2013, 05:37 PM

Welcome to the forum and great looking truck !!! Always nice to see another knee knocker!

firestopper · 06-19-2013, 05:44 PM

thanks everyone!!

Love the knee knockers!!

endlessearth · 06-19-2013, 06:02 PM

The paint job on the roof is cool.

likaroc13 · 06-19-2013, 06:15 PM

Cool truck! I thought air bagged trucks were supposed to ride great? Maybe it just needs a little work. But there are plenty of bagged guys on here that could help ya out.

endlessearth · 06-19-2013, 06:19 PM

Is there a custom paint job around the rear window too?

yes, what do you think? I was unsure at first but now it is growing on me. Not sure if I should paint the rest of the truck (or color) of just leave it primer??

endlessearth · 06-19-2013, 06:41 PM

Personally I like it. I think that you have a neat piece of So-Cal cruiser culture art right there.
