I just made some mods to my truck!

Well, I guess it's an improvement anyway... I'm not ready for a new set of wheels, and frankly, I'm not quite sure if I want to go low or hit the gravel roads. I found a set of rustic chrome modulars and half worn 31's for a mere $40. It's certainly an improvement, for now. I finally found the camera, so here ya go. Also as promised, a before picture of my 68 that I used to have. I've got in process pics in an album somewhere that I need to scan.

This is when I first brought it home.

Travis, I sure like those stockers on your ride, but it's what makes you happy that matters.

I'm sure I'll eventually have three sets of tires and wheels and a couple different sets of springs so I can change it around now and then. Like moving the furniture around in your living room...

VERY impressive considering that is the same paint on there. Try painting your front bumper white... it'll look.... right.

People always said i was nuts back in the day whan I would wax my old truck... waxin the turd as it was dubbed. Don't forget to wax the dash too!
