New Look: Almost Complete. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Heres whats been going on with my truck.

Sold the 22's. Tired of ruining tires and the rough ride.

Bought 17" chevy wheels with new Falken ZIEX 275/60/17 tires.

Raised truck up 1" on all 4 corners. They couldnt align it as it was.

Sold black LED taillights. They just didnt look good IMO with 17" stock wheels.

Sold small street scene mirrors. Also didnt look right IMO.

Had my factory mirrors painted pewter to match. I love em!

Bought 03+ chevy taillights and 3rd brake light. Love those too!

With the money from the 22's ($1300) I am buying a trutrac with 4.56's for the rear, and 4.56's for the front.

Whats left to do for new look? Buy an SS tailgate cap and have it painted pewter to match.

Truck before:

Truck Now. I absolutely LOVE it.

It looked, and looks good both ways. I would have to give the edge to the new look though. Sometimes the smoother ride makes all the difference. Either way man it's a killer truck.
