Re: College restoration. My 71 c10
In the process of adding rear disk brakes I realized that my stock rims will not work with the new brakes and the calipers. Meaning that I needed to pick out some new wheels! I ended up going with a set of US Mags Ramblers. I got 20x9.5 in the rear and 20x8 up font. I coupled the rims with some Nitto N555 295/40 in the rear and 245/40 up front. I’ll post some more photos when I wrap up the front brakes!

Re: College restoration. My 71 c10
Took my first big drive in the truck yesterday. Drove from Houston area to Ft Worth. The drive took about 5 1/2 hours as I was avoiding the major freeways (Truck is not street legal yet) . The drive went great and I had no issues at all, smooth as a babies bottom. Was extremely rewarding to be able to drive the truck I have poured my blood, sweat, and tears into for the past 5 1/2 years. Snapped a couple pictures, my favorite was a pic in the wild flowers off the side of the Highway!

Yeah buddy!
![]() Question about your Slosh bucket seats... did you get your seat foam from Slosh and if so which option? standard or custom?

Re: College restoration. My 71 c10
It's looking great!
Bluebonnets and Buc-ees, sounds like a TX spring.

Re: College restoration. My 71 c10
Took me a long time, I hated drilling holes in the truck, but I completed installing the trim on the truck. Crazy how much of a difference trim makes.

Re: College restoration. My 71 c10
That'd be a real nail biter for me too. Totally worth it though, looks fantastic man!
