Appreciate the words! I chose not to try and use the headlight buckets, they were in kinda rough shape and I figured for the couple bucks just buy all new and not have any worries. And clearly I couldn’t use the bezels either because well….. yea

Re: 1969 C10 Project “Nosejob”

So do you think instead of spacers that a set of 8" or 9" wheels would fit and look better? I am asking because I am on the fence with getting my stock wheels widened as I will be running the same caps as yours. I think it looks great and can only imagine how nice it drives even without an alignment.

I wanted to achieve a beefier stance without breaking the bank on new rims. I was on the fence about the spacers at first but after throwing them on I’m very happy.

A cheap and simple solution to give the truck alittle bit of a better fitment and stance. At the moment new wheels are out of the budget so for 120$ spacers worked out great. These are inch and a half I got them from Lugnutguys.com

Re: 1969 C10 Project “Nosejob”

Is motivation Monday a thing? Some photoshop action and now I’m debating just how far I should lower this thing.. im not sure if a 5.5/7 would get it done to looking like this but damn that’s almost perfect in my opinion.
