my ride
Here is my truck. My dad bought it new in 72. It is a custom deluxe with A/C and a 350. The pics are a little blurry for some reason. Let me know what you think. I need ideas on wheels. My brother just got 20" TTII's on his GN and I really dont want to copy him.

Re: my ride
Nice truck! I like it just the way it is. Maybe a little lower.

Re: my ride
Leave the wheels just go lower. Is that lowering blocks that make trailing arms so visible? Maybe dump those and bag it. But seriously, it looks really good the way it is. Just my crappy opinion

Re: my ride
I'd go with some chrome corvette style rallies, turn the letters in, and drive it! I like the stance. Very nice truck.

No, it is not factory. This truck has been a daily driver for all of it's life. It has had 2 paintjobs done on it. My dad put this paint on and you have ot wax it like every other week. It is a intergrated clear. It is now time for it to be done right. |

Re: my ride
That looks sweet! I like the white letters with those wheels, but you could go a little lower with a newer wheel and black walls. Maybe an 18" wheel would fit nice.

Re: my ride
If you change wheels let me know I want dibs on those. I think it looks great the way it is. Not everything needs to change

Re: my ride
Nice truck, I hope that AJAX in the 4th pic is just for the wheels, that stuff will kill a paint job.

Re: my ride
I agree 17" Ralleys would be sweet! Timeless with a modern flare size wise.
