Re: 79 c10 silverado
Sweet truck, well done!
I'm no help on the tires, but one suggestion I have is swap out those mirrors for chrome sport mirrors (the little ones).

Re: 79 c10 silverado
I'm not a 20s guy, but those are some clean looking wheels vs. the chrome plated "in your face" Foose style that's so popular these days.
If you lived closer, I'd buy your old rallys.

Nice work, what a huge difference for the good, is the paint original on it, looks clean in the pic's.
