Re: El Cheepo wheels and grill
I would'nt call it cheap, shopping around for the best bargain is the way to do it. Looks good what you've done so far.

Re: El Cheepo wheels and grill
Thanks guys Frecho71 I paid 1000.00 for the truck, and have put in about 1800.00 including $ 627.00 to paint it and $300.00 for the radiator. Those two were my biggest expenses.
63 64 bowties thanks , but the grill has a small tweek and the chrome is more daily driver then show, but for $50.00 I can live with it. Bishiops trucks ,joehalford 01,and raiden7800, thanks I appreciate the kind words Nimrocker they are 6 lugs I got them for $50.00 for all four wheels, and $20.00 for the bullets .

Re: El Cheepo wheels and grill
I plan on getting some pinstriping done this week. I thought about what Bishops Trucks said, maybe I should change my projects name ? Any suggestions?

Re: El Cheepo wheels and grill
Looks great, Sal! Congrats. I can't believe those prices on the grille and wheels...I guess I need to learn how to bargain shop too! As for the name, I would keep it, when I saw El Cheepo in the subject line, I knew it was you...Another suggestion, keep you wide whites and steelies in storage, that way you always have another option and you can swap out whenever you want... Later!
