I thought it would be cool to post pics of everyones trucks from "old school" to "new school" or vice versa...

Ok...these are not the best pictures of the Circuit Rider but ... The first picture is the "Circuit Rider" two years ago for the restoration. The second picture is the Circuit Rider and she is almost done with her transformation. The wheels are TT II's 16x8 that I bought used off this sight. Do slots and TT II's look dated? You bet and thats why they look so

on our trucks. They will always be "

" ... but the big/tall wheels will come and go but the slots and TT II's will reign forever... this is my story and I'm sticking to it.

PS: Regardless of the type of wheels that is used ... our trucks still look "" ...

I'm digging the updated center caps. That really cleans the wheel up.

I guess this is old school to old school? I really wanted to keep the wheels in the first picture with the baby moons, but it didn't work out.

LOL, I was thinking the same thing! To me old school implies that they were available when the truck was new. 17" TT2's? Isn't that about 20-25 years after the trucks were built?

No offense intended Big Al. It must be a generational thing.

I think we all throw the term "old school" around alot to me anything older than ten years is old school but hey thats me....

Everyone has a different definition of what old school actually is.....

Breeh no offense taken at all everyone has their opinion and we know all about opinions...

I would say that is still old school to new-er school. I really like both actually. But the TT's look great. Thanks for keeping this thread going...loving it!
