No, do rear disc brakes.

Well...I was thinking maybe I could keep this free thing going

but a rear disc upgrade will be somewhere down the line

Oh, what's up with the height of the curbs in Cali ? Wow.

Hey Chad I was wondering where you were at. Glad you made it. The curbs keep you from pulling straight in thats for sure. But are fun on a skate board!!

Yes, it's a 67, and a bit of a mutt, even has some stuff you traded with me so I think they are related

I always like wheels that are the same color as the body color, if the truck is one color.
If it's a two tone color (white/xxxx), then I think white wheels look good.

BTW: your truck is one of my favorites on the board. A real truck!
Just my $0.02,

Thank you so much Dano!! I really appreciate your comment. I do use it as a truck

Not for a while unfortunately, need to do some more upgrades before paint

NewType72 · 01-17-2013, 01:49 PM

Awesome news about the front brake setup definitely worth it all day long I love mine. As for the red I have it on my truck so you know I'm a fan

but ill be switching to the original paint scheme possibly next summer when I can put the truck down for a couple months

Red is pricey buddy.. Im thinking you already know.

But its tough to beat a slick red 68, white grille and 71-72 white top. I saw one at GG that was stunning. Keiths truck comes to mind. You guys met Lucy right?

I'd have to disagree I did my red on a budget because it was a mixed color and the customer didn't like it plus it's centering so it's only single stage just depends on what rout Shawn wants to take with it I think he's quite fond of his patina so far

CC69Rat · 01-17-2013, 02:36 PM

Ok.

shawno72 · 01-17-2013, 03:39 PM

Haha for now the patina is fun but I really do want to get the red on it, just want a 700r4 and bags more
