Re: New Owner in Montana

I'm in Kalispell. Look forward to seeing your truck and meeting you at the Bigfork show next Sunday.
Definitely go with disc brakes! you'll feel much more secure.

Only if it's otherwise a 100% perfect original museum piece. Functional upgrades that retain a basically stock appearance are big improvements in my book.

Thanks for the input and compliments everyone. I can't wait for the show next Sunday, looking forward to meeting those that are attending. I'll be the short guy with all the tattoos, hard to miss in Bigfork, Montana lol.

Re: New Owner in Montana

Found some old school aluminums on craigslist, so I figured I would snatch them up. What you guys think? Keep em or throw them on something else?

Yeah, I'm pretty torn at the moment. I never, and I mean NEVER, liked steel rims on trucks. This one, however, I think looks great with the grey steelies.
