wow nice truck ! only thing i noticed that was not up to par was the paint on the interior roof. looked a little orange peely in the pics .

Really clean truck. I would have done the interior different with a little more work done on the seat and gauges.

That one is nice . I like the way he mounted the front sway bar since the truck is lowered . Frank

meh... i give props for the amount of work but its not my cup of tea.... to me those rear tires are hideously too big... its like the truck can't decide if its a straightliner or a show truck or a handling truck??? All that weight-adding air compressor stuff, but its a drag truck? Or is it a street truck?

Sorry for being a nay-sayer, but if its a thread for opinions, i guess i have the right for my .02. It's a clean truck, so yeah, that's cool, its just a little confusing to me.

Then again, if I'm the minority then I guess i'm the confused one.

Wow! that is a sweet truck. I like how they left the body mods to a minimum. Im not a directional wheel fan, so I like the wheels in the magazine article better. It sure sits nice too. In my opinion, steppers need big tires to fill the wheel wells right & I sure do like the steppers...

Really looks great,but there is one thing I would have changed is to have the pipes come all the way out so none of it would get on the underbody. Must be a show truck because it would take me a week just to get it that clean after driving it.

Ain`t she sweet.The 81/82 bumper (lights in) is perfect for that grille.I like the stance.

Yeah I noticed that too. If you look close at the construction pics you can see the cab was on it's back at one time. It appears that when the interior roof was painted because there is a run in the paint that goes uphill.

It looks like the original owner had different tires and wheels. My guess is someone redid it at one point and changed tires/wheels and added the air suspension.

Regardless it is a very well done truck....

Maybe he was going for a streetable truck that looked like a prostreet. I thought the tires look very funny also, it needs wider tread or narrower rims in the back. Alltogether though it is a very nice looking truck too clean for me though I would be scared to drive it.
