Show and tell - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

AceX · 01-04-2010, 07:26 PM

It's a nice day outside, I'm not working, and I had some free time, so I finally washed the truck and took it out for a little show/tell. First pics I've taken with the new wheels. Some people may not like them as much (neither did I at first) but they've grown on me already and they're 1000x easier to work with than the old slot mags.

These are the only pics that I could get without tiny-puppy licking me to death while I held the camera. For some reason the dog just HAS to be the center of attention...

Looks Good. I like the rims, look good. I need to get some new rims for mine. I remember seeing your truck in Fresno. Nice, clean and LOUD!

cochino12 · 01-04-2010, 07:48 PM

looks good, what size are those tires?

Big Port Jimmy 6 · 01-04-2010, 07:50 PM

Not bad on the wheels. Would look even better if you would convert over to a pre 80 nose, the design seems to suggest an earlier truck. just my 2 cents. Jay

flamingbig10 · 01-05-2010, 12:26 AM

I thought about that after I posted. It was parked and but the stereo was sweet! I told my buddy while we were looking at your truck that it looked familiar. Had to show him your thread and impressed.

*78 Chevyrado* · 01-04-2010, 08:11 PM

Awesome Ride as always, man!

54Caddy · 01-04-2010, 11:18 PM

The guy I go to is in Woodland. He's decent and knows his stuff. My dad's known him forever. For something in the area, let me ask around. My buddy who works at Gearhead Garage might have a better idea.

edit: oh yeah, let me turn up my gains and we'll see who laughs last

I'll PM you my schedule as soon as I get it and we'll get together.

Driveway Dreams · 01-04-2010, 11:52 PM

The new wheels look good. I still love the look of your truck!

*BGRAFX* · 01-05-2010, 12:16 AM

I like your truck! good job on the door panels

54Caddy · 01-05-2010, 12:54 AM

hahahah alrite i dont even have an amp to my mids though and there still that loud wait till i get the amp and equilizer and add the 6 1/2"s and the tweeters ahaha, but alrite let me know whats up man..

menace121978 · 01-05-2010, 08:10 AM

for the exhaust shop, Mark at Marco Muffler down the street from me does awesome work. he does mostly custom stuff and has done at least 10 different setups for different rides i've had. Quality work for sure, a great guy to deal with, and you'll get to see his '70 c10 that is SICK!!

menace121978 · 01-05-2010, 08:11 AM

btw, truck looks sweet ace! you planning for the autorama again this year?

Chief Bail · 01-05-2010, 09:21 AM

Man that truck is RT ON brother....

68 TT · 01-05-2010, 09:42 AM

Looks great. Good job.

I forgot to ask you earlier when I saw them but who makes the kick panels you used?

Jonboy · 01-05-2010, 09:55 AM

I like the wheels. What size did you go with, and what size tires? Also, what drop is on that truck?

**nlped** · 01-05-2010, 12:57 PM

Looks really good!!!

draggin86 · 01-05-2010, 01:55 PM

dude truck looks great! what month is autorama this year in sacramento guys? maybe my truck will be done by then!

AceX · 01-05-2010, 11:13 PM

Autorama is first weekend in February I believe. I'm waiting to hear if I'm going to be showing with Arc Audio again this year. If I do I'll probably be parked outside, which is nice because I can give demos easier that way. Downside is the weather was crappy this last year...

The kick panels are custom made as are the lower door panels.
