YEA LOOKING REAL GOOD GUY'S

john@thepier · 10-09-2004, 07:25 PM

After seeing the 2004 rims on porject garden truck (which I'd seen on this thread). I had to go out and get some. After struggling on which truck to put them on I settled on my 2000 GMC. I guess my 69 will have to wait for new rims and tires.I think those old skinny ones on spilt rims look pretty good anyway. My other green monster is hungry too.(but) Wife tells me the 6th kid is on the way so I 'll have to wait and see how much $$$ will be left for my addiction. "They call us hicks up here,cuz,all the hillbillys live in the south,and their the ones with all the good truck parts!!!! he-he

I found the 2004 wheels on line ,the new wheels are the ones pictured on the 2000 GMC crew cab .cost me a whopping $400.00.with the frt. but they had less than 100 mls on them,and I'm sticking to my story that the garden truck made me do it!!!!HE-HE
