Those wheel look fairly deep. 16.5 x 8 or maybe 9? Wait, 16 or 16.5?

Nice, very nice!

Bishops Trucks · 10-03-2007, 02:32 AM

Beautiful! When you going to get a load of firewood or some gravel for your driveway?

earl87gta · 10-03-2007, 03:53 AM

Wow that’s a great looking truck do you have a build thread for it. We need more pics.

**special-K** · 10-03-2007, 06:55 AM

10..............
Nice job.It`s all correct.Most try to give what the truck never came with or change it to a Cheyenne.It takes dicipline to not over restore.Great job.Chevy just called that Medium Blue,as far as I`ve seen.I`ve heard mention of Hawaiian Blue,too.Just not sure if the were calling it that in`72.
