finally got my new truck from down south
well after about 3 years of looking and messing around with junk i was finally able to locate and purchase my dream truck. Picked up this 71 custom deluxe 10 blue and white short bed with an ls1 and overdrive trans. Its lowered with lowering springs all around. I think it needs adifferent set of wheels and tires and it will be set. So far i am in love with it and think it was well worth the 2000 mile drive.

Gorgeous ride. I think you should put 15 x 8 Rallys on her.

Re: finally got my new truck from down south
Very nice! Congrats.
If you're changing wheels, I can do some Photoshop for you. Just let me know what wheels you like. I think you need to bag it. !!  (playing) .. looks great man, but the wheels are kinda dated.
