Damn dude that is SIC!! Love your truck. What mod did you do to fit the rear wheels in there.

Re: truck i bought off "junkyardjohn" almost done
 

That truck is just flat ass beautiful!

If there was a Noble Prize for pulling off the perfect look.....you just won it.

Re: truck i bought off "junkyardjohn" almost done
 

thanks guys...for the rear wheels to fit with that offset when i put the 9 inch in it we narrowed it about 5 inches to compensate for the deep dish.its a 3inch backspacing on a 10 inch wheels!!

Re: truck i bought off "junkyardjohn" almost done
 

That is drop dead gorgeous! My '72 Cheyenne will be similar, and if it is half as nice I will be pleased! I am in Kelowna once in a while (have some close friends there) and would love to see this in person. I will pm you when I am heading that way this spring or summer and see if you are available.

Are you still building trailing arms? If so I would be interested.

Thanks!

Re: truck i bought off "junkyardjohn" almost done
 

Man, that truck is nice. That thing would stand out in a field of show trucks.

Re: truck i bought off "junkyardjohn" almost done
