Just my $.02, I'd put the beauty rings back on and though I genuinely like the hubcaps that were on it, I'd put the correct pointy '57-59 caps. Those rock. If you want ot jazz it a touch, paint the steelies some other color. Orange, a soft yellow, something.

SUCH a damn nice looking truck!

Dan, the rear springs are standard eye 4" drop mono leafs I purchased from Brothers & had them loaded in the back with a set of Cokers (W/walls are so expensive here in oz), I basicaly did a sh*t load of shopping over the net & had everything throw'n in the back while awaiting shipping out of long beach.
When I brought the truck I kinda estimated that it would need atleast 3" drop to get it level just by looking at pictures. Caps & trims will be going back on I just need to increase the back spacing on the rear rims by 3/4" as there is slight contact on the rear fenders atm.
