Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Perfection! The color combo, the stance, the rally wheels, the raised white lettering. Beautiful.

Re: lowered shortbeds on stock wheels?
Hate to bring up an old thread but does anyone know what colors these are on this truck? My truck came from the factory with the lower tan color and I would like to two tone it just like this. Any ideas on color codes?

It varies a little bit based on model year, but using '84 as a sample:

My guess would be code 66 Indian Bronze Metallic with code 61 Doeskin Tan on the bottom. RPO ZY4 "Deluxe" two tone paint scheme.

It would show on the SPID as 66U and 61L.

Thanks, my truck was factory doeskin so the sticker on the innerfender says. Also the dash looks to be the same color as well.

Re: lowered shortbeds on stock wheels?
Here's mine. 4.5/6 drop and 255/72/15. I may do drop shackle in the rear to drop 1 more inch. Ignore the temp PlastiDip paint job. Hopefully getting real paint soon.
