Re: New guy to group wanted to say Hey

Sounds like a solid plan. Let's see more photos! Will you make a color change or repaint the same color?

Re: New guy to group wanted to say Hey

Nice rides! Easiest way to convert to big window, First convert your small window truck into cash greenbacks. Then convert cash into a nice big window truck. Good luck. Otherwise there are a few threads here on the conversion, if you haven't seen them yet.

Hey Dan,I'm going to keep it the same color,going to take cream off tho,it doesn't go with the grey interior to me.I'm thinking about buying a set of ridler 645 rim with gray center might paint a gray close to what on them in place of cream,also thinking about removing the body side spear off the bed to give it a look like a cameo.
