Sold the crewcab already... still have the red truck though.
I have since de-tuned the motor and repainted it. I also ceramic coated the inside of wheels.

Re: Changed my front clip to a 73
Did you narrow the rear or widen the tubs to fit the 20x12 wheels? What back spacing? You're running 315/35s right?
