    I would like to get some ideas on what wheels, tires and what i can do to make this look a little better. It has a 350/350, Mustang 2 and 3:73 gears, so the truck is alot fun to drive. any Ideas?

  2. You're half way there already; get some chrome reverse for the front to match the rear, and some bias plys. Whites or blackwall would both look good. Actually, whitewalls would set off the white trim nicely.

    Richard D said it best...chromies up front to match the rear, wide whites, then drive the wheels off it! You've already got a great stance. Nice truck.

    Ditto, But the truck could use some stripes
     
  5. Like pinstripes? Maybe a combination of dark blue and white pinstripes, nothing too crazy, just subtle accents.

    I say that truck needs some American 5 spokes with bigs and littles. no whitewalls.

    A nice set of blackwalls on Halibrand Sprint wheels, bring the back of the truck a little lower than it is...
     
  8. I agree, split the amount of rake in half.

    Other than matching wheels and tires, I would put a stock grill painted white back in it.

    As far as the wheels go, I'd go blackwall for sure. I'm a sucker for painted steel wheels, black or body color with baby moons or stock Chevy poverty caps.

    those new chrome grills are reasonable & a matching bumper. --- i agree 5 spokes or halibrand style wheels would add ALOT!!
    NICE TRUCK by the way! i didnt notice it was a BIG window too. i need me one of those 5-6-7 trucks someday. maybe i win the lotto someday & get a cameo or a nice stepside.

    I'd put a set of Bling bling 22"s on it and body drop it with some wild tribal graphics and a molded fiberglass interior with a bagillion watt stereo. That would be sweet!!!

    Oh, wait, sorry I thought I was on a different web site.

    How about a nice set of steelies painted black with some spider caps.
