Re: Updated pics of my stepside build
No 2 tone! If you choose to 2 tone the truck anyway, a group of us will hunt you down and swap it for a Ford!
Nice Truck!

Re: Updated pics of my stepside build
IMO its perfect......I would not change a thing.......Looks Awesome...but i could possibly see a stripe all the way down the side say bout 3or4 inches wide.......But IMO not a two tone...Just something that would break it up.......It looks way to good now.....Again great job

Re: Updated pics of my stepside build
that is one badass truck, I would not two-tone. There are a lot of stock twotone paint schemes that look great, but yours is perfect as is.

Re: Updated pics of my stepside build
Thanks for all of the comments . It makes you feel a whole lot better when other people like it I wasnt sure on the color alot of red trucks running around. For the questions the motor is a 454 stroked to a 496 roughly around 600 HP I hope . The rear wheels are 15x12 with a 5 1/2 back space . The 9" F*** rear end was narrowed . Front wheels are 15x6 with 3 1/2 back space with a 1/4 spacer . I will take some more updatded pics tonight I have some of my interior in , Just waiting on my seat .
Thanks again for the comments |

Re: Updated pics of my stepside build
One last answer the tire size is rear 29x15.50 fronts are 205/75/15 they need to be a little shorter i think.

Re: Updated pics of my stepside build
That is one SWEET ride! Dont change a thing. Did you have to 4link the rear or did you stay leaf spring?

Re: Updated pics of my stepside build
Don't change anything! Looks great as it is! I really like that shade of red! What shade of red is that? Looks to me like Torch Red, which is my favorite shade of red! ...Joe

Re: Updated pics of my stepside build
your truck is looking great I wouldn't change a thing. I have a few questions though. how much did you narrow your rear end and are you still running leaf springs? I am trying to get some more tire under my 73 stepside shop truck. also if you dont mind how much is it lowered?
