Re: 85 swb c10 project "ole blue" build

They are the 15x7 rallys,tire size I honestly couldn't tell you..they are just on there for the rollers while being painted..I'm going with a black 20" mesh style wheel when I get it back..just waiting to get it back to get the measurements for the back spacing

Re: 85 swb c10 project "ole blue" build

Killer build like the shaved look myself. How come you didn't shave the tail lights? And where did you get your phantom grill and do you like how it fits and looks I want to buy one like that
