New to the game & need some advice

Hey, I'm 17 and just bought a 70 chevy c-10 longbed. :metal: I like the longbed because I want the classic look, but I also want an eye catcher. I don't think I ever seen a longbed have the things done to it that I plan to do to it. It is already lowered to a nice stance. Pass this I'm thinking of maybe 17" torq thrust II and maybe a two-tone silver and orange paint. Any tips or ideas for the youngster? :fb:

Thanks for the welcome guys, I'll try and get pics on here tomorrow. It's not much now, just primered and dropped, but hopefully it can become a real show stopper. For 1st time pro I live in Texas and for screamin c-10, long fleets do rule

Here is a little motivation. If I had a 5 lug I would have TT2's with out a doubt. The blue one at the bottom with the Torque Thrusts is the picture that made me want a longbed.

Welcome, good choice. If you go to shows you would think chevy only made short bed trucks. In my long bed I can get my bike in the back with the tailgate up.
