Great truck! Going to be that much better with the wheels and caps!

**Already Gone** · 04-06-2013, 03:07 PM

Very nice truck and as much as I love the rallys on our trucks becuase of the Ochre color I think you are hitting it right on going with the hubcaps and white rims. Looking forward to seeing the pictures when you get the new rims and caps installed.

Awesome truck, and I'm glad to see one that's not getting slammed. Love the stock wheels and white letters.

Zoomin · 04-06-2013, 11:29 PM

The tires will definitely compliment the 4x4 look, that's for sure. You gotta have pix of the tires mounted, let's see!!

Looking good so far. Are you planning on the original chrome hub caps, adding wheel covers or maybe chrome lug nuts?

**bowtie72** · 04-07-2013, 10:18 AM

Ok it's tomorrow already were waiting on the new pics....It is a beautiful truck for sure!!

**yote1234** · 04-08-2013, 12:41 PM

1972SUPERSB · 04-08-2013, 12:44 PM

That looks awesome! Love it! I put the stock springs on mine and it sits a little higher in the back but I think it looks good. Didn't and will not slam my truck. Like the stock look

I think the rims look great. Hopefully the springs will settle a bit. I'm just glad to see a SWB that isn't being slammed.

yes, im sure it will come down some, but, i am old school. and this is how we had them back in high school. im real happy with the outcome! thx,dave

I think it looks great, but that doesn't really matter. You're putting your own stamp on it. You paid for it, you need to be happy with it.

SS Tim · 04-08-2013, 01:15 PM

Looks great!
