Is that a Grant wheel? If so, what series. The grip seems fatter than my Challenger series. Of course I have the hard red metal flake and not the foam.

JohnC · 06-15-2009, 02:32 PM

Looks like a nice starting point. I do think the 454 makes up for the wheels, as long as you let everyone know it has a 454!

Texasfunk that is definitely a nice pair of rides, I like the idea of a 502 in a shortbed.

Kind of looks like an early 67-72 CST wheel, definitely interesting.

spaseghost · 06-16-2009, 01:06 AM

silvrbreez - i dont know what kind of wheel it is, i looked all over it and didnt see anything, i f i put a defferent one on ill let you know.

Even the cool trucks in Georgia were made in the Lone Star State.

Seriously though, cool ride. I like the rallies. I would like to see what it looks like at ride height.

Orange77 · 06-18-2009, 09:02 PM

bumslie75 what did the rest of your system look like?

watahyahknow · 06-20-2009, 03:01 AM

83 Stepside. 305/Turbo 350. MY first vehicle, gonna start on it this summer!

JohnC · 06-20-2009, 05:54 PM

That's one sharp truck. What are your plans for it?

ndametz32 · 06-20-2009, 10:01 PM

First plan is to lay the rockers on the ground. Then we're going to paint it (A few different color's we're still looking at), re-do the interior, and hope to come home with a few car show trophys.
