Re: New wheels and tires-Keep vintage look or restore?

It doesn't look bad. I see what you are saying when you ask for opinions about restoring it. The question, as I see it is "What do YOU want it to look like?" No doubt you can keep it like it is and the wheels really set it off. On the other hand, I'm sure you have found those areas that you want to improve, or prevent from getting any worse, right? The majority may say to leave it alone. Bear in mind, that restoring, restifying, whatever it is that you consider, will take more money and more time than you can initially estimate. My truck is "all over town", so to speak. It's disassembled. Looks like a basketcase. Heck, it IS a basketcase. But, slowly and steadily, it will come together. Yours would, too, if you decided to "fix" it. But, if it ain't broke, think twice about what you would be doing to it.

It looks good. Driving it is where it's at.
