Yes. Love the new wheel and tire combo. What make are the wheels? Where did you buy them?

Are you leaving the caps solid white or putting the red ring and bowtie back on?

Very Nice. Are they 255-60 on the front? And I'm guessing 295-50 rear. Are the wheels Wheel Vintiques?

What a thing of beauty

What did you do for ls engine plates?

Any trimming to get the headers to clear the frame?

I used the CPP LS swap kit. Headers, motor mounts, frame stands, trans crossmember... it's a great kit!

No cutting on the truck whatsoever... (other than the C-Notch)

everything was "Bolt on"

Thanks for that info. Did you have any wheel fitment issues, I have read of a few with wheel vintiques.

I love the fade on the grill and bumper! Did you buy the heater block off plates or make them?
