Dang, have you been taking some corners hard and tearing the wheels off it? That looks like a Weld wheel. ?

One day I was driving it to school and I heard like cracking noise, So I called my dad and he said to basically turn around an Idle it home and right when I turned around the wheel broke off and jammed under the wheel well. I had to wait an hour for him haha.

I have never heard of it....shows how much I pay attention. There are a lot of cruise-ins and shows and stuff going on here now that its getting nice and warm outside. I went to the Chili cook-off last year (on Magnolia) and they had a nice little car show.

Your truck looks like a nice driver. If it was "show quality" you would never drive it...just trailer it to shows. Now what fun is that??!! My trucks are both drivers. I do not see a point in owning garage furniture. If I am going to invest my sweat and money in a truck, you had better believe I am going to roll in it. At Brothers truck show, there is everything from 50K show trucks to $50 trucks.
