Re: Cherubs 82 build
Truck looks awesome, I really like the tire combination. Are you swapping them out just because of the look or is there any issue with that particular size in the rear?

Re: Cherubs 82 build
Just read thru this string....beautiful truck! I agree with the earlier post regarding the flat wide stripe...combined with the color choice, stance, wheels/tires, and the sprinkle of chrome...very nice. Sounds like all you need is a Vintage Air system!

Re: Cherubs 82 build
Where did you get your cowl hood from? I like the smaller cowls, but most aftermarket ones I've found have bigger cowls. Thanks for helping out though.

Re: Cherubs 82 build
Cherub,

I totally Love your truck man!
What's your average mileage like since the 6.0 transplant?

I'm thinking of doing an LS swap on my '86 with fuel economy in mind as regular gas is about 3 times as expensive here as it is the US.
I Will probably end up with a 5.3 / 4L60E combo.

Hope you donīt mind me thinking about gettting a set of those 225....
I love them.
Btw I wonder how far my truckīs color is off from yours as it looks pretty similar.



erik
