Re: Project "Old Aux"

I usually don't like corvette ralleys on trucks but those white ones look down right sexy! GVizzle would you happen to have the rim and tire specs for those?

Re: Project "Old Aux"

This is a beautiful truck! I can tell you're really putting your own style into it, not just doing what everyone else thinks looks cool.

One question though, what are you going to do with the rear end? Reburb and powdercoat what's there or replace it?

Along with Nathan Porter, alot of the credit for this build goes to Keith (N2Billet) He's been giving me guidance on what parts to buy from day one.

As far as the rear end, a 67 (narrower) 12 bolt is being completely refurbished right now, New bearings, axels, seal, gears, posi, powder coat and big willwood 14 inch rear brakes. The axel on there now is the 1972 (wider) mock up one.
