impalamark · 03-24-2009, 02:53 PM

but as far as I know all are welcome. Especially those that like/love
squarebodies !
Good looking start to a relationship there ,just needs a little more love
thanks for the look at your ride
good luck with it

since you are obviously a man of great taste and judgement (at least on the rootbeer brown) I guess you can stay. Like I have any say in the matter. can't wait to see some progress! Oh yeah, welcome from the northwest!

lowrod65 · 03-24-2009, 11:17 PM

flamingbig10 · 03-24-2009, 11:23 PM

**78 Big10 454** · 03-25-2009, 12:05 AM

There are plenty of trucks on here done both ways. The great thing about this site is that everyone appreciates all the different styles. It really depends on what you like. You are the one having to look at it everyday. No sense in doing or not doing something and regretting it later! Enjoy!!!

lowrod65 · 03-25-2009, 05:14 PM

very true statement, i guess some of it gonna have to depend on what color i go with. i think some colors look better with chrome handles and the stock molding. then some look good with smooth body. thanks man

Driveway Dreams · 03-25-2009, 05:36 PM

Welcome in. You have just crossed over to the 'Square Side'. (dun dun dunnn). As has been said, great lookin start. And do what ever you think you want on it. They look good many ways and nobody else has to see it all the time. So make yourself happy.

westie 666 · 03-25-2009, 08:25 PM
