Went with the skinny small fronts 215/75/15 and fat tall rears 255/70/15 on 8" wide rear wheels. I like the stance and ol school vibe. I'm digging it.

Looks great! I really like those caps.

CST10 · 01-12-2015, 09:48 AM

Thanks guys. The hubcaps are the original ones. Couldn't bring myself to repaint them. Lol. I'm digging the look and ol school stance. Reminds me of high school. Lol.

Andy4639 · 01-12-2015, 10:28 AM

Good looking stepper! You hit it on the head with it.

jaros44sr · 01-12-2015, 10:29 AM

Perfect! That is one beautiful truck...what s the interior look like. Amazing that there are 20,000 mile trucks still out there

The only thing i would change is the zip code,.....from yours to mine

CST10 · 01-12-2015, 10:51 AM

I wi post some interior photos this evening but it's all original and looks great. No holes In The seat. Dash pad no cracks. All painted surfaces like new and steering wheel no cracks.

**Ironangel** · 01-12-2015, 12:15 PM

Sweet!

dhaymaker · 01-12-2015, 12:29 PM

Nice looking truck! It may take a while, but I just have to figure out how to make mine look like yours. Just picked this one up on Saturday (the 10th) and will be getting it home when the snow lets up! (Well, perhaps not exactly like yours...but, you get the idea!)

Thanks. I was torn between modifying it a lot or barely lowering it then staggering the tires. I really like it. Now it don't look quite so paw paw-ish, even thou I am a paw paw. Lol.

**67 cst swb** · 01-12-2015, 06:04 PM

Perfect choice of tire sizes and rim sizes.

slow-1 · 01-12-2015, 08:36 PM

Looks great, did you split the difference on the spare?

CST10 · 01-12-2015, 09:53 PM

Yep. I split the differance with the spare tire. Went with a 225/75/15 for the spare.

CST10 · 01-12-2015, 09:55 PM

The reason why was that it was $10 cheaper, for a spare tire no big deal AND it was the size they had in hand that was double black wall. Didn't want a white wall showing on the backside for everyone to see. Lol n

**GAc10boy** · 01-12-2015, 10:09 PM

Love this truck!
