Re: Thiftmaster S10 build

How are you going to title your truck. In texas will they title it with a s-10 frame or did you have to get an independent company to do the inspection on both the truck and the frame.

Re: Thiftmaster S10 build

Looks great. Are you still thinking of changing the wheels? I really like the looks of those Twisted Vista's

Im not sure yet. I really wanna do some old school pinstriping and Im not sure how that will go with the wheels on it now but they look pretty good on it with the flat paint. Kinda breaks it up some. For now will prolly just run these till I can get some white walls. One issue I will face running steel wheels is I will have to find some big enuff to clear the front brakes.
