77shortstep · 11-30-2009, 06:42 PM

looks like a solid start, but imo 22/24 will kill it

ghettoluxury · 11-30-2009, 06:44 PM

Welcome to the dark side. Looks like a straight truck.

r1lorenzini · 11-30-2009, 06:51 PM

Nice truck, I have to agree with you about the current wheels

.

79gmcc15 · 11-30-2009, 06:59 PM

Oh, then I agree, that is way to big for these trucks. Really nice rig though!

Good start. Laying rockers on a 22/24 combo will be sweet!

**lolife99** · 11-30-2009, 08:00 PM

Subscribing!
Very nice looking swb.
We need more pics of the truck.

STOCKISH · 11-30-2009, 08:27 PM

I've been a 67-72 guy for years but have had a few squares as well. Alot easier to find one of these that dont need alot of rust repair. I agree the wheels stink. Rest of the truck looks great. I would either do 20s all around or 20 and 22s. Again, very nice looking truck.

baggedcten · 11-30-2009, 08:50 PM

Nice! Yea the weels dont look good,but the truck looks good!

spaseghost · 11-30-2009, 09:05 PM

looks good, id go 20s or22s, nothin else though. looks like we have the same problem of hating our wheels, but yours are still better than mine!

longbedrick · 11-30-2009, 09:06 PM

nice trim. there's a few guys around here that are probably drooling over it

Mr.Scary · 12-01-2009, 10:56 AM

r1lorenzini · 12-01-2009, 11:58 AM

I have to agree. Really nice truck but lose the wheels. My two cents.

r1lorenzini · 12-01-2009, 10:44 PM

menace121978 · 12-01-2009, 10:53 PM
