Re: 4 years in the making.....Almost done

you like that stance? well other than that, i love your truck, but i think it has too much rake, and i'd lose the slider back window.

Re: 4 years in the making.....Almost done

I saw a very similar restoration here about 4 years ago...the exact same color with a big block. It was a full stock restoration with the exception of Torque Thrust wheels and it was lowered. It sold for $22,000 and then won a big rod show the following month. Nice job and I love the color!

Re: 4 years in the making.....Almost done

You might consider the ECE airbag setup for the rear... Youll love it. (Youll be able to put stuff in the back and choose your stance instantly as you desire)
PS... Id loose the slider too.

Re: 4 years in the making.....Almost done

That is a sweet truck, I agree it would look better without the slider, get a light tint as well, but it isn't mine so if you like it the way it is that is awesome to!
