Swung by the paintshop to take in the sweetness, just as they dropped in the ramjet...it's all comin' together!
My choice of paint was inspired by a certain prolific board members awesome truck. Talkin' bout you Al. Engine inspired by N2Trux. Sorry about the sloppy pic posting, I was excited.

MAK191 · 12-09-2010, 02:43 AM

wow. nice

tanman722001 · 12-09-2010, 07:50 AM

Looks great.

70 shorty · 12-09-2010, 08:34 AM

I like it! What are you gonna run for wheels and tires?

*mrhino* · 12-09-2010, 09:05 AM

Smokin

Spoof · 12-09-2010, 10:03 AM

I still can't decide what to run for tires and rims. I've always thought 17 or 18" TT2s but I'm keeping my eyes open for something different. Bear in mind I want to retain my dignity as an older gent, so as cool as 20's are I'm trying to restrict myself.
There is no denying TT's suit these trucks amazingly well.
Thanks for the kind comments.

The Boss 338's are a very nice looking wheel.

Spoof · 12-09-2010, 10:14 AM

I'm going to re-visit the Boss thread and see the final analysis on the 338s

Gobbles · 12-09-2010, 10:52 AM

That looks awesome, any chance I will see it at the Sleepy Hollow Run next season!? That is the only coast show I usually go to.

**67cheby** · 12-09-2010, 11:42 AM

Your truck looks like a beauty and while I'm sure there are things you'd like to improve, at least you can DRIVE yours. I haven't driven mine in 8 years, at least.

JOHNORO · 12-10-2010, 10:37 AM

I am partial to the Boss 338 wheel
but the 225 wheel is Killer

338 WILL REQUIRE SOME WORK
Some guys have had to use
Longer studs and a spacer up front

Rear also required 1.5" adapters to prevent them
from rubbing on inside of bed.
NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART

Why? If you like the looks of the larger diameter, then go for it. Your building a really nice truck, so don't restrict yourself. Put a set of 20's on it and roll proud.

BTW- Nice choice of motors...
