Finally took some new pictures

I've been wanting to take some new pictures of my truck for a while. I didn't have any of it after I had done a bunch of refinishing work last year.

I found what was a little used car lot can ducked behind the building and took pics. I have a few others that I'm using for my own evil intentions, but these should do nicely for now.

Enjoy?









This truck may not look like this much longer... I'm sure that you guys have noticed me snooping around looking at LS motor threads and the suspension forum. Nothing totally solid yet, but hopefully by this time next year, this truck will really be something else, something my uncle would have been proud of.

I really miss him...

Also, these cool little Latin words I have in my sig, are going on the truck...

Re: Finally took some new pictures

Your truck is awesome. Your truck is what has completely set me on doing the 2/4 drop vs a flip kit. Your truck looks plenty low with that sporty stance yet still good amount of ground clearence. Fantastic!

Re: Finally took some new pictures

I think it looks sweet like it is. Of course fesh wheels are alawys a great idea, and 20's would make it "pop". Have you ever considered removing the side molding? I think it would clean the sides up a bit.

I'm leaning towards a 20" rear wheel now...

I actually looked at removing the side molding when I replaced it originally. Didn't like it without it. Just too much white...

Thanks for the compliments everyone.

Silver will hide dirt better, but I've found that white is more gratifying when you clean it.
