[wakeboarddrumma]

Got the new wheels and tires put on today. She looks nice. If only i would take the time to wash it now.

[special-K]

What???You didn`t wash it first?The new wheels will get dirty,now.Looks good,kind of a throw-back appeal for me.

[wakeboarddrumma]

Haha, I really do need to wash it, my hood is very dirty, as well as the windshield, because i drove on the interstate the other day about 15 miles at 70..

What do you mean by throwback?

I am very pleased with it. The brakes brake a lot better when the tires aren't 33 inches :-D

[Canadian694x4]

Looks Great! Even if you say it needs a wash

[special-K]

Hmmm...throw-back,never thought I`d have to define it.I don`t know
I guess it means nostalgic or the way it was.Like aluminum slots or finned aluminum wheels,era-correct.Like Cragars on a muscle car.

Wheels look nice. Front license plate looks good too.

War Eagle!

Cool, but would look a lot better with an Super Air Nautique in tow.......
Start saving now

Thanks for the comments guys.

Speacial K,
It had some white cragars just like those on the back.. I thought they were POS,

Shane, Thanks man. I bet you've seen me around. It's my DD, so i drive it all around madison, sometimes huntsville.

67 fleet,
If i could afford a SAN, I wouldn't be driving that truck ;-)

[truckdude239]

[wakeboarddrumma]

truckdude,
They are 15 by 7 wheels, and 235/75 R15 tires.

What would you be driving?Nothing says "cool" like a sweet boat being hauled by a classic Chevy.To the boat people that may not appreciate the old truck,it still says`"It`s about the boat,not what gets it there,A-hole!"

[Green Machine]

Looks good !!!, but I am biased since we have some like that on the 68. IMHO the wagon wheels are very correct for these trucks.

[mike nutt]

wheels look good, can't say much for the tag on the front though. ROLL TIDE!!! i still like your truck though.

[EyeH8the24]

agree the truck looks sweet...the tag has to go .....ROLL TIDE !! HEHE

A couple of years ago I bought a brand new Triton TR-19 bass boat.

While I was at a landing down on the Mississippi River waiting for a friend to meet me to practice for a tournament, another rig pulls up next to me and starts getting ready to back in.

He looks at my brand new boat, then at my 1970 4x4, and says,
"I can't believe you pull that boat with that truck."

Without a pause I replied,
"That boat is depreciating in value. That truck is appreciating in value."

That was 2002. To this day I'd still rather pull that boat with my truck verses my 2004 Ford Explorer.

Thanks for the comments guys.

I would rather be pulling a nice boat, with that truck, when it's finished, or with a nice hoe or burb. But that truck doesn't look as good as i want it to yet.
