Thumbs up I know how we all love pics!

so, I gave my truck a LOOOOOONNNNGGGG over due bath and cleaning. and this is how she came out! if you think it looks bad now, you should have seen all the green moss? on it. it looks a lot better. I took the pics with my cell and at dusk time, so they aren't the best pics. I decided to take out the carpet because it was in really bad shape and it was just getting soaked with water. I figured it would look better without the carpet. and I am partly right.

Looks good to me. I miss those wheels. I had the same ones on my '77. Everybody tells me they are the same as wagon wheels and jeep wheels but they are different. They are a chevy truck ONLY wheel and I love those things.

Re: I know how we all love pics!

Looks like a good truck! My favorite "custom part" is the duct tape center back window. 2nd place is the rock.
