Old custom classic trucks have soul. Their dashboards aren't plastic, and they've survived both the best and worst of what the 20th century had to offer. For the owners of these trucks, it's often the same story. Through both good and bad times they persevered, until one day they could turn the key and roll up in a customized truck everyone with good taste would admire.Custom Classic Trucks

Thanks barebones. I'm doing the bumper to match and the grill will be a black metallic with some other additives to really make it compliment the body and chrome wheels.

Re: My Truck

I want to lower it sooner or later but I'm not worrying about it right now. I have a buddy that does suspension work so after I get it finished and on the road I'll figure out what I want to do with height. Though I'm sure that there's atleast about a 3" drop in it's somewhat distant future. But no bags or extreme drops because I just don't have that kind of money.

Re: My Truck

You know what would be bada*s, is if you had somebody replicate the valve cover plaid onto your bumpers, or maybe a stripe down the side. I think that plaid and copper color you have go great together. Nice build!

That actually would be pretty sweet. And thanks for the kind words on the color choice.

Re: My Truck

Hey man, we should cruise soon my truck will be on the road not to long from now. I'm also trying to get a Florida board meet together. It's pretty cool that your 18 and that far along on your build. Seventeen here, and just a few weeks from being on the road!

Thanks man and that sounds good. I hope to have it painted soon. I've just got to make everything line up and finish my hood. Once paints on I've just got to install the Dynamat, audio, and interior. But we'll definitely have to cruise sometime soon.

Re: My Truck

Thanks David, my drum studio is currently filled with them, my seats, window glass, audio system, etc. Oh and your bumper and box. I can't even get to the drums. So much crap.
