The rear could actually use a larger tire than what it's got, but these will do for now and the price was right.

Is this with a stock 69 rear axle? I looked through the thread and didn't see any info on the axle.

Love the new shoes...

**lolife99** · 10-18-2009, 09:16 PM

Your truck just got better.
I didn't think that was possible.
The Riviera is sweet also.

Chicago5 · 10-18-2009, 10:38 PM

Absolutel perfect, both of them.

my67chevytruck · 10-19-2009, 07:45 AM

Looking good!!!

drasticwagon · 10-19-2009, 08:00 AM

Looking good! My boss has the same Riviera factory gold color. Man I need to get with you when it comes paint time. Great Job

Painter D · 10-19-2009, 08:18 PM

Thanks for the compliments guys the next thing on my list is either a big brake upgrade (4wheel disc) , or a polished Weiand 144 supercharger. I'll keep you informed.

**lolife99** · 10-19-2009, 08:44 PM

Since it's your money I'm spending,...
I say skip the Weiand 144 and bolt on a ProCharger!

lowdownstar · 10-19-2009, 09:05 PM

I with Keith on this one, i didn't think it could get any better either! man you nail it big time! great job

Thanks Ray

This has got to be the best color of Blue i have seen, I may do something close if not steel it all together.

es67chevy · 10-31-2009, 07:59 PM

Subscribing to see where this one goes next. I've been in love with this color for quite a while and currently have mine scheduled to be painted Surf Blue starting next week. Keep up the good work on yours. Wish you were closer and I would ask you to paint mine.

lowdownstar · 11-18-2009, 08:57 PM

if you don't mind me asking where did you get the wheels?

Thanks Ray

Thanks Ray

I got the wheels from a local Billet Specialties dealer here in DFW, he gets them for me and a few people I know at his cost. I only paid 2200$ for all four rims, and the back ones are 12" wide.

Now if I could just find an American Force wheels dealer, I'd go ahead and get the 24" Semi wheels I want for my Dodge Dually.

big_al_71 · 02-06-2010, 10:14 PM

wow, this truck looks

I really like the improved look with the new shoes....

FnLow69 · 12-01-2009, 02:22 AM

awesome build man, seat looks killer. Also the color choice is perfect.

VA72C10 · 01-03-2010, 08:55 PM

502

But an LSx can be really cool too......hmmmm tough decision

Blitz · 01-04-2010, 12:02 AM

You might have to remind me cuz I'm too lazy to read thru the thread tonight, what happened to the one piece windows?

Personally I hope to see an LSx in there.

Painter D · 01-04-2010, 10:23 PM

The one piece windows were a "bust" in the quality department. Total junk.

Blitz · 01-04-2010, 10:39 PM

Awww. Sucks.

Can you elaborate on the windows? I really like the way the one piece windows look.
Your truck is absolutely amazing BTW!
