heh. i haven't heard "deadly" for a lot of years. i'm going to try and work it back into my vocabulary, it's a classic.

awesome trucks in here fellas.

I agree, that one sits about perfect. I like how the space between the rim and fender is the same front to back.

lol it has wiper blades and taillights now. That picture was taken right when we brought it home from picking up the bed from the paint booth. The lighting doesn't do the paint justice either I need to get a picture of it in the sunlight.

Rodms · 07-26-2008, 01:18 AM

I'm new on here but anyone know where you get fiber hood or front cap?

that how mine was, also no seat belts, no windows, and bunch over stuff wasn't on it. My truck need the right light for the pearl to pop, only bright sun light or fluorescent light, heres my truck when it left the paint shop

Loosen up the rear bumper brackets, put a jack under the bumper & lift it to square it w/the body. Looks like the bolts weren't tight enough & someone stepped on the bumper to get into the bed causing it to drop until the brackets bottomed out.

Looks like a solid truck though.

Nix the roll pan. The sport bumpers look sweet on GM trucks.

f.monroe · 08-03-2008, 01:27 PM

Hey SPR85GMC , What are the specs on the front wheels and tires ? Backspace and size of the rubber . The 20's look good . I like the dark center wheel on your dark truck .

They have confederate flag license plates in Mexico?

I guess I shouldn't be surprised, I have a mexican blanket here in TN. Bought it in Mazatlan back in the Navy days.

Nice wheels and stance, spr85gmc
