original-71 gets new shoes
I got a text from a buddy of mine that has a really clean two tone 71. He bought a set of wheels from forum member greens69 and wanted to show me how they looked. He wasn't familiar with posting pics on here so I offered to do it for him.
Here's his truck in it's original form. It's a really clean restored truck that he plans to keep "mostly original".

Re: original-71 gets new shoes
Here's a sneak peak of his new shoes. They needed a bit of attention, so he is polishing them before he puts them on. Ignore the large wheelwell gap. He is going to close that up before its done.
His plans are to have it ready for a local Rod Run at the end of August. I think its off to a great start.

Re: original-71 gets new shoes
Nice wheels should look great when he gets them on and lowered.

Re: original-71 gets new shoes

Welcome to the board original-71. Looks like you have a nice truck. My daughter lives in Spring so I get down that way every once in a while. Maybe a few of us board members can get together next time I get down there... LockDoc

Those sizes would definitely work better w/the 4.5/6 drop as well. Looking forward to seeing updates....

Re: original-71 gets new shoes
Nice!
Now he needs to just get that attitude adjustment done. 4.5/6" would look good IMO but I'm biased. ![]()

Re: original-71 gets new shoes
nice truck.....
Personally I dig the stock looking clean trucks dumped on big wheels better than the full on shaved/chopped customs. ![]() ![]()

Re: original-71 gets new shoes
Nice looking truck but I prefer them with the lowered stance and the new 20's wheels in place....

Re: original-71 gets new shoes
its all stock with a 350 ill put more pics of the interior and under the hood after iam done cleaning all the wheels,hopefully by next weekend. and personally i like both looks but iam more into wheels and and anything low. i think the shine on wheels brings out the paint more and trim on the trucks more than the ralleys.
