That is a pretty sweet ride. It seems like the 73-78 body style has realy growing on my lately, I would like to convert my 85 over to th older style front clip in the future.

I agree. Otherwise, that is a nice truck.

Since they kept the trim and emblems, it doesn't bother me that they left the hood ornament...in fact, I kind of like it that way.

**N2TRUX** · 11-28-2004, 10:52 AM

It is a good looking truck. It didn't make reserve last time. I wonder what it will bring this time around.

BTW- lolife99 thanks for the compliment...

truck looks real nice, i think the truck looks good either way with the hood ornament or if they would've removed it.

Sweet truck! It's located where my father-in-law is going to being moving to. Anyone wanna guess that drop? I say 5/7...

Those wheels really look out of place. A little less wheel, a little more sidewall.

and a lot less offset. Maybe its just me, but the wheels look way to far in. Almost like they are from a FWD car or something

They are the right wheels, but most people don't realize the rear track width on our trucks is narrower than the front track width. He should have either purchased a different offset for the rear, or a wider rear wheel/tire combo. The front spacing looks just fine.

I would have gotten rid of that drop in bedliner too, however I would be proud to own that beauty :p

bagged81 · 12-01-2004, 07:27 PM
