Re: "OrangeAnimal"
It's looking good man. Those wheels really do look good against the orange. I think they look better than chrome on there.
|
Re: "OrangeAnimal"
I hated the chrome. I thought they looked cheap. These are much nicer. Still not the best you can get but not a bad deal either. I am abnout to post more pics of some of the work done recently.

Re: "OrangeAnimal"
Hey (orangeanimal) make sure you take lots of pics if you decide to do the vintage air. I wanna do the same.......... truck is lookin good..:ito:
|
Re: "OrangeAnimal"
Rddiaz, I am going to use one from hot rod air. I ordered it today. I think it will look better without the big plastic cover on the firewall. I have plans to completely redo the firewall at some point. Mine is alittle rusty in places.
I will take lots of pics. From what I understand it's a top notch kit. It is also made right down the road from you in Selma TX. |
Re: "OrangeAnimal"
Nice work so far. The new wheels really make it. Sweet!!
|
Re: "OrangeAnimal"
Love the new wheels, truck is nice!
I do find it funny the entire truck is lined, but the inside of the bed isn't LoL!! :D |
Re: "OrangeAnimal"
Yeah I plan on getting it lined to match. I will be painting it later on flat orange with a satin clear coat. Haven't decided on pinstrips or two tone.
In other news I can't wait I am getting my grille molding and side marker lights and parking lights for the bumper. I also in about a week I should have the A/C. WooHoo Cold A/C. |

3r!c84, About 4 inches without the C Notch. And you will need to do something with your factory bump stops. You might squeeze 5 inches out but I wouldn't carry too much load in the bed or a heavy trailer.

Re: "OrangeAnimal"
nice transformation! looks sweet... those wheels really look good!
|
Re: "OrangeAnimal"
Thanks Menace and all the other members leaving me compliments. I hope to get the A/C soon. I hope to have it very soon. Unfortunately there was some lead time needed to get it shipped. More stuff coming soon. :)
Can you tell I am impatient LOL. |
Re: "OrangeAnimal"
neat.:cool:
|
Re: "OrangeAnimal"
what size wheels and tires are running
|
Re: "OrangeAnimal"
Booger69, The wheels are 20x8.5 I have previously mentioned that already. There is also a link to the wheels on the first page. Thanks.
|
Re: "OrangeAnimal"
my truck sits about the same as yours and i was wanting to run 20 but im not sure what size tire to get i was woundering what you are running and if the rub any
|
Re: "OrangeAnimal"
Booger the tries are 255/40/20 in front and they do rub some. Really the only way to fix it is to get the inner fenders out of there. You could modify them which is what I am planning on doing.
The rear are 275/40/20 and there are no issues there. |
Re: "OrangeAnimal"
Another pic of progress. I got the new sidemarker lights and new lights in the bumper. I also got the trim around the grill installed. I also finished mounting the bumper the outside brackets were a pita.
Enjoy. http://i218.photobucket.com/albums/c...l/IMG_1680.jpg |
Re: "OrangeAnimal"
Still waiting for the A/C unit to come in and I also ordered some shock brackets from SD. Slowly but surely. :)
|
Re: "OrangeAnimal"
nice truck.. i know from past exsperiance, dont try to sand the liner off.. what a job that is to do, sand blst it if you ever redo it...i like the new wheels on it..
|
Re: "OrangeAnimal"
Thanks for the advice 68GMC454, I don't know if I will redo it.
Today I got the shock brackets on it and finally finished tuning it. It runs sweet now. Took alot of work but well worth it. |
Re: "OrangeAnimal"
YAY new seats!! I bought these off ebay and to my surprise they look better in person than they did in the pictures. Here are some pics of them install. Later today I should have all the A/C parts so that should really make things nice and comfortable inside the truck.

It was a real pita to make the brackets I had work with the bracket they sent. If anyone wants details on the easy way to do it without guessing about it let me know i will be glad to share a step by step with them. |
