I know the feeling. I dig the wheel and tire combo. Keep up the nice work. Let me know when your placing that order. Later.

Re: 69 stepside,project keep the wife happy

i think budgets are made to be broken...i think i should have this done for around 8k.bought new bedsides and a lot of other new pieces that i hadnt planned on but the end result should be worth it.

If you can keep it around 8K with all its' options with the body work and paint you're still WELL ahead....I'd guess a 15-18K truck easily when finished....

Re: 69 stepside,project keep the wife happy

installed a fender today to get an idea of where the tire would be,the 15's look small in there.i have a set of art control arms but im not sure i want to go much lower since i want to keep the bed stock and the rake now looks pretty good.also i will be keeping the stock inner fenders and i still have like 2 inches between the tire and fender.
