Scoti's truck has convinced me to go 18/20's from the pure drivability aspect! I really dig the staggered look. All my buds tell me to go 20's all around, but I dont want to go around bending rims or having a harsh ride. Ill take a bit more sidewall up front thanks

Thanks guys/gals. It's cool that I tied w/a pretty nice ride IMO (he should've won). I would imagine he'll walk all over my stock 350 @ the dragstrip though.

scoti- your truck rocks. it exudes "class" with the old school front end, aluminum trim, and round factory gas cap... The color scheme rocks too.. Most of you know I prefer 4wd's but I would buy your truck scoti, as is if I had the money (and it was for sale)

Thanks to everybody that voted! And thank you Scoti for those kind words, but your truck is deserving too.
Btw, my truck will hardy get out of its own way so I would lose a race.  Sorry for my delay N2TRUX.
