Re: New Member and my first Truck '62

Welcome to the forum and great looking truck. That shift knob looks very interesting. Watch your knees and palms on that one. What are you plans with the truck?

Mighty cool! How about a close up of those wheels? Are they stock? What kind of center are you running?

Re: New Member and my first Truck '62

Cool truck! I thought air bagged trucks were supposed to ride great? Maybe it just needs a little work. But there are plenty of bagged guys on here that could help ya out.

Personally I like it. I think that you have a neat piece of So-Cal cruiser culture art right there.
