Re: what do you guys think

Not that it couldn't change to something different, but of the options shown I like it best just as it sits.

Your truck is perfect. I wouldn't change a thing. Except for the name on the title... and that's already half right!!

Re: what do you guys think

That truck is beautiful, one of my favorite on here. Definetly keep the green wheels. The only thing I would do is drop the back 'till the truck sits level. Sittin' on the ground like #3 takes away from the whole classic vibe you've got going on.

Re: what do you guys think

I hate to be the odd man out but I like the second one. Also how much is that lowered in the first two and do you still have torsion bar suspension in the front?

Re: what do you guys think

Why change? If it aint broke don't fix it...Green wheels & current stance.

If you change, make it something that you are happy with!!
