Re: my 68 project

By any chance could you give me the specs on the rims/tire size and brand. I'm really liking both of them. If you ever plan to sell keep me in mind.

Re: my 68 project

I just don't care that much for the 88 up beds on our trucks, glad you changed it. Looking good Bill.
I take it from the pics you got moved?

Do you know what brand they are so I can find a seller of them? I love the look.
Also, what are the specs on your drop? 3/4" maybe?
