Well, I just got home from TexasFunks crib. We swapped wheels before he sells his truck. I've been dying for some OEM rallys.

Texasfunk txting. lol

Swapped!!

I'm real happy with the look. I think my old Eagle Alloys looked better on Texasfunks truck than mine!! lol

Sad to say yes, the truck is SOOOOOOOO clean.......and FAST. Who ever gets it is going to have a monster of a truck.

that is a nice ride indeed one day i hope to have mine looking that nice. so West Texas Z what drop do you have ? on your suspension

I've never noticed until last night when me and Thomas were looking at it. I believe the front springs have been cut a coil and the rear is missing two leaf springs. It came like that. I still want to go lower.

rallys are the best look! nice truck

and unfortunately yes! i didnt want to, but i bought a new car, and before buying that new car i should have checked the insurance :/ i took a loan out to buy the car so i didnt have to sell the truck, but the insurance is going to KILL me, so i want to pay the car off so i dont have to have full coverage..im going to miss this truck, but i think the 99 t/a will fill the void nicely

gchemist · 08-21-2010, 08:00 PM

Nice! I may go up there in Sept or Oct. I think I may take my truck. It needs a good shake down!

Sept 11th is the Hill Hod Rod show. You should come then!!

West Texas Z · 08-23-2010, 05:51 PM

I'm looking for an engine locally that I can swap into the truck. I plan to keep my exhaust set up though. I like the deep rumble sound.

tvblazer78 · 08-24-2010, 01:08 PM

West Texas Z · 08-26-2010, 11:52 PM

It came with the truck when I bought it. This is it though. http://www.lmctruck.com/icatalog/cc/full.aspx?Page=78

3r!c84 · 08-26-2010, 11:57 PM

damnn going to be like 330 with out shipping for bumper and brackets and bolts and plate holder

West Texas Z · 08-27-2010, 12:02 AM

yeah, the brackets are way over priced. I say the bumper is pretty fair.

3r!c84 · 08-27-2010, 12:25 AM

I only need the inner or outer ones for trucks? I forget what ones

West Texas Z · 08-31-2010, 09:34 AM

Dhpenner just photo-shopped my truck for me. Slammed it to the floor. I cant wait to lay my truck.

3r!c84 · 08-31-2010, 11:57 AM

hahaha cool. i want one of mine

aggie91 · 08-31-2010, 05:32 PM

Your truck looks good. It is amazing what some simple detailing can do for the look of a truck like that one. Your old Eagle alloy wheels looked amazing after the cleaning and polishing.

Keep it up!

West Texas Z · 08-31-2010, 11:01 PM

Another angle.

The Eagles looked real good polished/cleaned up. Thomas has them now on his truck and to me they look 100+ times better on his. I'm going to rock the rallys untill I bag it. I'm not a fan of big wheels at stock height.

ekjunky80 · 09-01-2010, 03:52 AM

good lookin truck man! im still debating on going with ralleys or 20s. I think you may have sold me on the ralleys. Im down in abilene BTW. just not at the moment..

Gordonr1973 · 09-01-2010, 11:47 AM

Subscribing. Truck is turning out really good --- started off pretty cool too.
