Front roll pan installed and grille, Not sure I like it, But my Son who I am building the truck for likes it, So I will leave it!

Really nice. I really like your choice of wheels and the front grill is sweet as well.

Timbo1 · 11-18-2011, 10:15 PM

Thanks, it's coming along slowly. The rears are 20x10 with 295/50/20 and the front is 20x8 with 255/45/20. Sits pretty nice.

grill looks good, real mean looking!!

**Tim Christian** · 11-18-2011, 10:32 PM

Your son going to have a very nice truck! Just wondering why you decided to use 67-68 eye browls with a 69-72 top bar?

Timbo1 · 11-18-2011, 10:52 PM

Thanks, just trying to get a little different look. What do you think? Look ok or ? And yes he is going to be very lucky. Honestly I'm a little jealous!

I actually really really like it. I built my oldest son a 67 GMC and he drove it all through high school.

Timbo1 · 11-18-2011, 11:28 PM

That's what I'm hoping for! He turns 16 in Jan. it's funny how the kids are going back to the older trucks.
