Re: 72 Short,Super,Big Block

Very nice truck and as much as I love the rallys on our trucks becuase of the Ochre color I think you are hitting it right on going with the hubcaps and white rims. Looking forward to seeing the pictures when you get the new rims and caps installed.

Awesome truck, and I'm glad to see one that's not getting slammed. Love the stock wheels and white letters.

Re: 72 Short,Super,Big Block

The tires will definitely compliment the 4x4 look, that's for sure. You gotta have pix of the tires mounted, let's see!!

Re: 72 Short,Super,Big Block

Looking good so far. Are you planning on the original chrome hub caps, adding wheel covers or maybe chrome lug nuts?

Re: 72 Short,Super,Big Block

That looks awesome! Love it! I put the stock springs on mine and it sits a little higher in the back but I think it looks good. Didn't and will not slam my truck. Like the stock look

Re: 72 Short,Super,Big Block

I think the rims look great. Hopefully the springs will settle a bit. I'm just glad to see a SWB that isn't being slammed.

I think it looks great, but that doesn't really matter. You're putting your own stamp on it. You paid for it, you need to be happy with it.
