I have my truck back on the road again after a couple years of restoration. Bought it in 2005 and drowe it as it was the first summer and then I started to tear it down completely and now finally have it back in working condition again. Some before and during pics.

That truck is gorgeous - it looks like you just brought it home from the dealer! I really like the wheels. Your hard work was well worth it!!

Bus Ted Knuckle · 06-10-2008, 10:24 AM

Dang nice truck. I love the color too. Great job!

QKENUF4U · 06-10-2008, 11:09 AM

Awesome !!

Dr.Jones · 06-10-2008, 11:30 AM

your truck is so clean, you could eat off it.

rambler · 06-10-2008, 11:39 AM

nice job.looks great.. and we complain about gas prices over here.. how much is it there?

Hittman · 06-10-2008, 02:33 PM

I must say you did an awesome job - very classy. I noticed the 3/4 stock "ralleyes" appear to be deeper than stock. Did you have them widened or is it just an illusion with the wider tire?

Looks great guy! I bet that really stands out in Sweden!

68 50th · 06-10-2008, 05:18 PM

Thank you all a lot for your compliments.
The wheels are widened from 6.5 to 8.5 in the front and 9.5 in the rear. I have better pics of the wheels on my hard drive but I do no not have access to it until the end of the week.
Gas prices have become really ridiculous lately, if I try to translate it to $ and gallons I think it will be about $9 per gallon.

67ChevyRedneck · 06-10-2008, 05:21 PM

Da-yum! Nice truck

Wow, really nice work. I love the pale yellow. I seem to remember you buying the truck, didn't you have to wait quite a while to get it once it was shipped?

scottrod71 · 06-12-2008, 06:16 PM
