What do you guys think?

I had this idea... I'm not much of a ford guy, but for some reason I really like the look of the F150's that were designed with the Nascar look in mind. Black American racing wheels...Goodyear eagle tires with the yellow writing on the side...Ect. I'm curious what you guys think about this look on our trucks. I haven't really seen anybody do it yet. I've seen some guys with some similar Idea's. but nothing full on. Just more of the racecar look. Lowered stance,Ect! Has anybody seen anything like this and think it would look good or am I alone on this?

Hmmm... Not something to write home about. IMO. I like the little blue truck though! I just think the roundy-round and NASCAR look should stay on the track.

Re: What do you guys think?

I was thinking about those rims for my truck also. No yellow writing though. I think Black wall will do just fine..

Re: What do you guys think?

After running different sizes of tires and not being able to rotate them I finally adopted the NASCAR idea. Biggest tire I can fit in front and the same in the rear. I think its a nice look when the truck is basically level or slightly raked. I say go for it.

I think it would look cool if done right.

I was ahead of my time. Heres a scanned pic of my 64 in the early 80's. Belted TA's. White, not yellow letters though.
