I've always liked your ride. What part of Nashville are you in? You ever go to any of the cruise in's?

Thanks man. I'm in south Nashville by Nipper's Corner. I go to one every now and again. Which ones do you hit up?

Been meaning to tell you the truck came out beautiful, by the way...

Thanks, bro. I go to the one at Indian Lake in Hendersonville on some Friday nights, Saturday nights it's either Providence in Mt Juliet or Publix parking lot in Goodlettsville.
I'm trying to make it to Murfreesboro before the seasons over. Have yet to go but I hear it is gigantic.

I think you should. It looks plain without them. I just got some new trim from LMC Truck to replace my old nasty ones.

I think it would take away from the flow of the wheel color and truck color.

I went to the one in Goodlettsville a month or two ago. Been thinking about hitting up the one in Hendersonville. I used to live in Murfreesboro and went every Friday. That one was huge a few years ago when I lived there.

If you decide to go to Hendersonsville let me know. Would be nice to meet some of the board members. On a "good" night, there are over 250 cars in Hendersonville. Have seen as many as 375 before.

Just noticed you have one piece side windows, I am green with envy. That is on my list of things to do along with A/C on mine.

Great looking truck, great color and finish. Wheels look awesome. Personally I would go with the wheel well trim but it is your decision. Good Luck

Thank you, sir! I have come a very long way with it since I bought it 3 years ago. Here is what it looked like before I had it painted.

Re: Should I put wheel well trim on it or not?

So, I decided to put the wheel well trim on it. I'm not 100% sold on it but maybe once I get it off jackstands and outside at ride height I will like it better.

I like it. I think it finishes the truck when you have trim on it.

Thanks. Hopefully I will get the Vintage Air install completed this weekend and be able to get it out of the garage and drive it. It's been way too long.
