Spotted at a local car show
  Spotted this truck this weekend in the parking lot at the Carl Casper Auto Show in Louisville, Kentucky. There were a lot of nice vehicles there, but this one really tickled my fancy. I'm really digging the old school wheels on it.

I agree, tires are a tad too big, but at least it don't have 22's and rubber bands for tires.
 I like it. He's doing his own thing and not trying to copy everyone else.

I like the bigger meats also. I don't know much about 2wds but i'm going to assume whatever the crossmember mod is will straighten out the front wheel problem with them being at such an angle while sat down like that. But don't know if anything can fix that or not. I kinda chuckled when I saw it missing a headlight. But like said before it is a work in progress and looks good to me so far, I would drive it anyway.

Looks like someone gave that truck a black eye, lol
I'm not liking how the crossmember is on the ground while the back drops further, but otherwise its a good looking truck Just needs to get a smaller series tire...

IMO, I think that he could lose the rear step bumper, the dented "dumbos", and the nicely shaped radio antenna for a cleaner look.

thats cause its aired out, wheel and tire "should" be straight up and down when its aired up to driving psi.

 I'm not big into the look of it sitting on the ground like that. If I saw a vehicle on the side of the road looking like that, I'd say the spindle was already snapped. I do agree though, it is a nice clean truck and has potential. Like the big rubber as well.

I like the truck itself (it looks like my goal for mine), I just don't care to have it lay on the ground.
I'd be afraid of resting on something other than the frame or crossmember.
