My 81 SWB - I could never see what people liked about the long bed trucks, SWB's look hella hard (whoops, guess you can tell I am from NorCal now, haha)

Thats what I am curently running. FUnny you should mention those wheels. I really like them too, but have been thinking of updating my head/parking/sidemarker/tail lights to more of the clear euro style lights. What do you think?

I want this truck to ride the line between traditional and new school. I like the impala wheel look, but i want some more euro style lights. keeping the old school snap on tonneau cover (costing 325 to have handmade BTW, damn!),but with the newer style billet grill and peekaboo lights.

I hope it doesnt look like a total mess when I get done, hahahaha.

Did Hills paint your truck? Very nice ride I like the factory two tone in non factory colors.

Thanks, No, I just stopped there on the way back frome SEMA, We painted the truck up at work. That's the exact concept I was going for, factory scheme, custom color.
