My Longhorns been flipped!

As some of you know I recently relocated to east Mesa, AZ and in the process sold my Longhorn. I was VERY fortunate to have sold the Longhorn to the first guy that came to look at it and sold my house before it even hit the MLS. I didn't know it at the time but actually sold it to a local dealer and looky what they did.. I don't agree at all with the white paint on the bottom, nor the 90's vintage wheels-but overall looks pretty good- like my wife says .. not your truck anymore .. go look for the next one .. OK, honey ;-) no idea what they are asking for it. Before and after shots for those interested.

Re: My Longhorns been flipped!

Very interesting.
I often wonder what mine would look like 2-tone.
I went from the previous owner's aluminum wheels back to white steelies, although mine are the correct year wheels. I just think these trucks look better stock appearing.

Fellow nutmegger I agree thatbyour truck does look very nice with the steelies but that might also be cause your truck appears flawless so you pull it off plus like you said you have the correct wheels on it.

My truck might appear flawless in pictures but it's definitely got some character here and there.
