Mostly just got rid of the shell and grandpa (no offense) wheel covers. she still looks a lot better.

knightowl73 what did you do with the rims that the truck came with ?

Puglia10 · 12-28-2010, 02:01 AM

They look like impala SS wheels, right?
Great thread! Hopefully Ill have something more than a painted frame and a engine on a stand to post some day. These eagle alloy 225 wheels look killer, think I might need some!

*87 chevy silverado* · 01-03-2011, 09:30 PM

what happened?

jasonroman · 01-03-2011, 09:35 PM

dropped my kid at school this morning....
thought about buying needed tools for 5/7 drop thats in the mail...
then opted to go home instead and order some front end parts instead.
pulling into driveway, and notice the xmas tree that i put out there in my pass window....i thought i cut the turn too tight, grabbed the tree and that was it.
when i stop truck and look back, i notice a red jeep connected to the bed of my truck.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!
