Do you plan on Lowering it?

Thought those wheels look like mine.
20"-8" x 20" - 10" out back with a 1/4" in the back and no spacer up front. They did shave the hub off just enough so the cap would fit. I watched them as it was done. As stated man great job. Mine is RED and GM gunmetal grey!

Your truck looks killer, I like the colors combos

Andy4639 · 07-25-2011, 09:12 AM

Thanks man!
I was worried about the wheels not looking right with the truck but after getting them on it made the whole truck POP!

Hope you get some outside shots of yours. That is a awsume paint job on it. I wished I could say I painted mine but oh well. I did everything else though!
Great job again. Love the colors on it. I had thought about silver on mine but just couldn't get over the red.

CURSED GEARS · 07-25-2011, 11:05 PM

Looks good. Dont forget the follow up pics when all the chrome and trim are on.

sick..................

fast50ranger · 07-26-2011, 09:09 AM

Thanks for all the comments. Oh by the way, i used the Sherwin Williams Dimension Paint line. I had heard that it was not the best quality paint, but I guess i heard wrong. The local jobbers here in Montgomery are good guys to deal with.

tooter · 02-12-2012, 08:04 PM

Man That is one fine truck, Can I have the Hood back...lol . I don't know how I miss this till now.
Great work an Great color choise. Is mine next?????

**CC69Rat** · 02-12-2012, 08:17 PM

Looks great man! I hope mine turns out this good.

You thinking about lowering it? That would really set it off IMO.

PAWS 72 · 02-13-2012, 01:36 AM

Bring yours on up and I will paint it

I want to lower it with bags, but my pockets are saying something else.
