Re: can i join

Re: can i join
Your welcome here even if your not a 73-87 owner. Now that you own one your part of the gang.
You do know about the rule that new guys have to bring cake and ice cream for everyone...

Re: Can I join
There are plenty of trucks on here done both ways. The great thing about this site is that everyone appreciates all the different styles. It really depends on what you like. You are the one having to look at it everyday. No sense in doing or not doing something and regretting it later! Enjoy!!!

Re: Can I join
very true statement, i guess some of it gonna have to depend on what color i go with. i think some colors look better with chrome handles and the stock molding. then some look good with smooth body. thanks man
