Re: Simple Green
 

what kind of tires are you running i am wanting to put wide whites on my truck and not sure what a good tire for that would be.

Re: Simple Green
 

man, i love your truck!!! looks awsome :metal::metal::metal:

Re: Simple Green
 

Badass

Re: Simple Green
 

They are American Classics 205/75/15 from summit. little small for me. i might go to a bias L78 or G78. Thanks

Thanks man

Re: Simple Green
 

looks spectacular, as i've stated in the past :metal:

one thing i just noticed in this thread though is that the cab never seemed to leave the frame...were you able to clean up the frame under there as well?

oh, and any plans for pinstriping? not needed i suppose, but i think it would fit nicely with the style

Re: Simple Green
 

Yeah, I got it clean when I had it up off the ground. No striping on this one, keeping it simple...

Re: Simple Green
 

Man your truck is spectacular. I love every aspect of it. I’m not normally a fan of lowered trucks but everything on your build just looks fantastic. And those Porterbuilt parts are simply engineering artwork. Thanks for rebuilding your thread.

Re: Simple Green
 

so do we get to see it in person at CPP

Re: Simple Green
 

Yeah, it should be there...

Re: Simple Green
 

that's really, REALLY sweet. Dig the paint. Great combo - everything goes together - yet it's FAR from common. Love the bamboo floor.

Re: Simple Green
 

That is without a doubt the coolest 63 I have EVER seen! Can't say enough, love the color, the bamboo, the suspension, the everything!
