As nice as it is already, can't wait to see what you have up your sleeve!
BTW, like the Boyd's wheels. May I ask what are the specs on them? They tuck very well.

Thanks..i will be postin plenty of pics as we progress. The wheels are 20x10s all the way around. The front has a 3 1/2 in lip and the rear has a 5in lip.

You should of left this truck alone and got another truck to re-do. Your truck looks great as it is (or was). Looking forward to seeing the finished product!
