72MARIO · 04-20-2003, 08:43 PM

Who needs mirrors . Thats why it looks so rad ! and the Cowel Hood.

Nice Ride .

Kid · 04-20-2003, 08:47 PM

Thanks everyone. The drop is a 4", 6" (spindles @1.5"springs front) from Early classic. Tire size is 275x60x15 & 225x60x15. Going to get exhaust on Tuesday, so I still can't drive it yet. Not quite done, as Blue Beard noticed, still need mirrors, inner fenders, & tail gate

Dads72 · 04-20-2003, 08:52 PM

I didn't think I liked the rims painted body color. I love yours! That color really works.
Beautiful truck.
Are the side markers there?

Dads72 · 04-20-2003, 08:55 PM

Forgot to ask.
From the garage to the driveway -
What was your e.t.?

Kid · 04-20-2003, 09:08 PM

Dads72, took the side markers out, and for the E.T.? Lets just say I had to put two black marks on the new cement approch in front of the garage (3.73 posi)

Dreaminator · 04-20-2003, 09:57 PM
