73 project

Bought this truck 2 years ago and finally decided to take the plunge. Drop and wheels last week. Somewhere around a 4-6. Wheels are U S Mags grey standard. 20x8 and 20x9.5. Nitto 255/40 on the front and 285/40 on the rear

Re: 73 project

I think the wheels and drop are very tastefully executed. The color sceams 1973 as well...and it's about time the 70s were back in style.

Re: 73 project

I am old school too but embrace a newer change for the better and the wheels and drop is a real nice look and still very useable too. I tend to think of stock as to plain, needs personality and yours has it now.
