Trying to decide on new wheels for my truck....I'm liking these

[VA72C10]

I think those are a good choice with the year of the truck and the color...they will set it off nicely. You could also look at gunmetal coys or boss 338's for a less expensive option with a somewhat similar 5 spoke design.

[Strodder]

These would look good too.

[Strodder]

Or these. I like bling.

Coys c55 125 each in 17" 225ea in 20"

i am with strodder, bling bling. lots of work trying to keep em polished but well worth it.someone is making a knockoff of american classics torque thrust 2 they are using the american racing center cap i saw them at the pigeon forge tn rod run for 550.00 a set 17x8s polished or gray center. they were nice a company out of nashville tn was selling them but i cant remember the name. maybe someone else knows what they are.but whatever you chose they cant help but look good on that truck.

[Strodder]

They make Torque Thrust in Chrome too.

Does it cool down when the sun goes down?

[198plus]

Very little.

I remember when we lived in Canoga park Ca on a hot night we couldn't sleep because of the heat and humidity. We would get up in the middle of the night and take a shower to cool off. We only had a swamp cooler there, and it doesn't work in humidity. Here in the high desert it cools off really good at night.

What were your guys muddin' in those pics? Door gaps?

[198plus]

Behind where the door rubber goes....Don't ask me why
The rubber didn't cover all the factory spot welds.

In those days they made trucks really crude, and not consistent with fit. I had to do a lot to get the door gaps right on my truck.

[VA72C10]

It's details like that that 99.9% of people will never notice....but they take a truck from a nice truck to a NICE truck

[Strodder]

Yup it's the little things that count.

[198plus]

Amen

Here's some more.........Boy inside of a cab is a bear to work in, can't wait to color sand and buff the inside.

[Alan's Classic]

Looks nice Ronnie!! The inside does suck to paint.
