Just a few small things left and this thing is done. I need to install my side windows, tailgate, weatherstripping, hood, bumpers and get it tuned. I just put Nitto drag radials on the back with a widened steel wheel. I'm happy with the way it looks!

You should be happy, the stance is great!

The stance with the fat tires is awesome!!!!

What a cool build I've been missing! Nice job man, it looks killer!

**GR8-68** · 05-21-2016, 06:28 AM

Very clean execution w/ this one!

Really like the stance - may have missed it in your thread, but what size are the rear Nitto's?

Ok, this truck is pretty much perfect in my eyes. Gauges, when I saw those I was thinking yuk, but they look amazing in the truck. I think the black wheels look great. I think if you kept the trim and bumpers white, white wheels would look pretty good too.

So with the ten inch rears what offset did you use to keep everything tucked up inside with no rubbing issues. I don't think you narrowed or moved any of the rear suspension did you?

What are the caps off of?

Not sure on the backspacing of the rims. I'll check next time I have the wheels off. Read end is stock width. The hubcaps I believe are off of a late 60s Camaro. I could be wrong though.

I just looked at the close up of your gauges again. Im going to have to buy a set of these. I have a couple of extra bezels laying around, hopefully one of them is like yours. Man I have to stop looking at threads like yours lol.

C10_ustacould · 05-28-2016, 02:52 PM

Very nice build! I love the look of the steel wheels and caps, especially the fatties on the back. Which "level" RideTech kit did you use?

Thank you. It's a level 2 kit.

They're a little pricey but I love the look of them too. Just trying to keep it a little different

What is the drop equal to, 4/6-ish?

**GAc10boy** · 06-01-2016, 01:59 PM

Really a beautiful truck! Just checked out the entire thread and love how you brought your vision to light. Black steelies/caps, ftw!

aod92 · 06-09-2016, 08:44 AM

Took my truck on its first long cruise since the build. Went on a 60 mile drive and it went off without a hitch. I took it to my buddy's shop who tunes ls cars so he could adjust my fan settings. I also made an appointment to get on his dyno in about 2-3 weeks.

Your dash pad appears to be a sandlewood color. Did you tint it yourself? It looks great!
