Hey Marcus!

I'd like to get some new rubber. I want some BFG all terrains in either a 32x11.00 or 33x10.50. I keep going back and forth on whether to buy them right now. The tires on it now still have a bunch of life in them so I feel like I'm wasting money if I get new rubber now.

I have 16ft. utility trailer that needs tires. If I can fit the current tires on the trailer I wouldn't feel so bad about it. Not sure if 31's will fit on the trailer.

Your projects are looking good! I'm still following along. Nice score on the plow truck!

Great looking truck man! the red looks awesome! My uncle had a 77 stepper that i always wanted to buy off him and fix it up but he scrapped it

hope you dont abuse that great looking bed floor haha

Nice truck and really like the red. Glad to see that rig go back together instead of sittin in pieces, and good call on ditching the NBS bed. It's cool to see a project rig runnin, drivin and out doin stuff.

Greenlee · 02-06-2016, 03:28 PM

Thanks guys!

Here's the "new" wheels. I think it gives it more of an old school vibe. I still have the rally's if I change my mind.

MTCK · 02-06-2016, 03:55 PM

I love it with the dog dish hub caps!

Zane M · 02-06-2016, 04:01 PM

The wheels look great!

whitels1 · 02-06-2016, 08:46 PM

Wheels look awesome!

LiveAnimals · 02-07-2016, 02:05 PM

Much better IMO

Greenlee · 02-08-2016, 11:04 PM

I appreciate all the comments guys! Whitels1, I really enjoy your builds / videos.

The new wheels got me fired up to drive the old girl, so I drove the truck to work today. Here she is in the big city with all the normal daily drivers.

05duramaxhd · 02-08-2016, 11:55 PM

Love it

whitels1 · 02-09-2016, 12:52 AM

Much appreciated Greenlee, that's a sweet pic, she is a beauty!

I really liked your truck with the rally's, but got to say I think I like the new wheels on your truck better! Truck looks fantastic!

jhama78 · 02-13-2016, 11:04 AM

Man this thing looks GREAT with the steelies and hub caps.

Thanks buddy! The color matched rally's on yours look great. Can't wait to see it all back together.

Thank you Sir! Back in the day I would have ditched the steel wheels pronto. I guess styles change or maybe I just got old.

I am in the same boat as you... I used to hate hub caps... but for whatever reason I really like em... like you said maybe we're getting old...

calvin78612 · 03-04-2016, 08:08 PM

So it's been awhile now, are you pleased with the v/a system ? I am at the point of having to change my factory system and have decided to go aftermarket. It seems pricey but on a hot Texas day worth every penny.

I'd be interested to hear an update as well. Another question I will add is does the blower motor push more air than the factory blower motor? I ask this because my truck is a CC so volume becomes important for faster cool down

Greenlee · 03-06-2016, 05:33 AM

The Vintage Air system is great. It's one of the best things I've done to the truck. The fan blows hard. It's cold in the summer and hot in the winter. I haven't had any problems with it. On the truck I had before this one, I rebuilt the factory system and it still didn't blow very cold.

68Timber · 03-06-2016, 01:09 PM

Sweet sweet sweet - unbelievable what white steelies and dog dish caps did to that truck. Beautiful!

trixter99 · 03-06-2016, 01:51 PM

Since you were looking for a factory looking style this look is the best l personally really dislike rally's on almost everything. You have a beautiful truck congrats.

Greenlee · 03-28-2016, 10:46 AM

Thanks guys. I had a good Easter Weekend playing with trucks. I know everyone likes pictures. Here are some pics of my truck along with my buddy's K5 Blazer in the Texas hill country.
