Easy Fella's... Constructive Criticism or nothing at all... Really.

Everyone has their own tastes and personal preferences. If we didn't, all our trucks would look the same... and that would be Boring!

So... I'm a big fan of the original look in the first pic, definitely a good looking truck. The painted wheels are pretty cool as well, not too big on the flames though... but that's just my thoughts

What happen to your beauty rings?

[benoit454]

I liked the wheels better before, although I aint a huge fan of them in general, I don't like em body matched that much at all. Maybe black or white, if not then silver for sure only for me.

I aint a fan of the grille either, but truck looks good and I like the flames, but it's yours man if you like it then it's all good.

People, you need to understand, if the OP ask what we think, there shouldn't be a problem with the replies that come in. Settle down.

My thoughts...I liked it a lot "before", not a fan of the "after"...at all. ESPECIALLY the flames.

BUT, your truck, you have to like it.

[nbpro]

Well it's definately not boring. Flames would've been better if they had been painted instead of a decal. Needs the beauty rings back. Other than that, looks ok to me. And it is his truck, not mine. Oh yeah, cut the front coil springs, take the rivets out of the rear hangers, mild drop, would look better in my op.

[PRattenbury]

Yeah, not the way I would have done things. But that's okay. It doesn't matter what I think. It's your truck, and if you like it the way you made it, that is what's important. Hell with everybody else.

The grill and the headlight bezels are going to be redone.... I did the grill black to hide the fact that it wasnt perfect (missing section where you open the hood previous owner took some of them out cause he had fat hands? he couldnt reach the latch) and flat black kinda looks bad... Im planning on gloss black and redo the crossbars(?) with a chrome pen?? (cheaper then buying new or used).... try to make it look new... I redid the headlight sockets in flat black cause I think that was original??? but Im going to tape the chrome and gloss black into the headlight sockets.

The trim rings are getting done as we speak... I like the blue cause it sepreates me from the rest I guess... kinda makes them not so cheap looking... as the 69 COPO has matching ralleyes (dream car)

Flames are decals yes... thank goodness... but the grandson wanted me to put them on... he got soooo excitied to see them on it.... Ill keep them on til I do the repaint... after all the work the body needs... it will be a while...

No harm on the negative comments.... Ive been on the internet a long time... and I have thick skin... this isnt a show truck... its a yard truck... It gets driven maybe a hundred miles a year? maybe way less... but the branches and leaves into something to haul it to the tree dump and help move relatives...

I do however get alot of notes on it for people wanting to buy it... have no idea why
