Tim,
You are awesome! Thanks for the help. I met you at Super Chevy in Bristol in 2002? Maybe 2003? You had just picked up a red Suburban. You were talking to me about the CounterParts stepside rear fenders. I don't remember who was more excited, me or you. Now I know why. That GMC is one awesome looking truck. I know I don't have first dibs, but if you ever decide to sale it... put me on the list!

Thanks Tim!
Dean

Yukon Jack, I was looking to complete that Street Rod look that I started with the interior. I like the look of Halibrandt (sp?) wheels on the street rods, but man are they expensive. I "cheaped" out with the Billet Specialties. I'll post some better pics later.

Those wheels look Great , and the truck looks Clean .

Looking really good!!

Do you have any clearance issues on the front with 10" wide rims at the extremities of suspension or steering travel?

Cheers

I looked really hard, but I couldn't find the words "cheap" and Billet Specialties together in one sentence. Maybe you know something I don't, but the wheel/tire combo looks incredible on your truck. Very good choice IMO. I'd love to see it a little lower though. But that's just my opinion.

Trust me, it's a lot better looking in person!
