Re: Back with a square Body this time.
I had a feeling what the comments in here were going to be... and I have to say I agree... it’s a beautiful truck! Drive it, and buy a clunker to do the frame-off resto/full swap!
On the subject of wheels, my personal take on the steelies is that the big ones, from Detroit or Coys, with the caps, look a little goofy. Like the cap is lost in acres of huge steel wheel... consider a more original size like 15, but wider, 10’s-12’s for that badass deep dish steelie look. Similar to what Joe Yezzi has going on his trucks OJ and the blue one he built. That also allows you to run a tire with a decent sidewall. You pour a ton of cash into coilovers and 4 links, but run tiny sidewall 20’s and it’ll ride rough on the street.
Just a few thoughts... I’m sure whatever you do with it it’ll be badass! And props on the road trip, I’m a huge fan of that exact scenario, done it with both my last trucks and have another one in the works!
