Thanks! I was wanting to run some big intro twista vista II, but who knows what I'll do. I like the stock wheel hubcaps look and I also think some smothies with these caps would be bad. Well see what happens.

Nope. I guess I'm one of the last ones on the list!

I'll eventually get them!

Thanks alot! This project is a slow build. Not going to get in a hurry on it.

AND I've got some good news! First and the best news! Last Thursday my wife gave birth to my second little girl weighing in at eight pounds! She's adorable! We got to come home Saturday! Everything is going smooth.

Second I finally bought some land in this ridiculous town, so hopefully I can get started on building my own shop and go into buisness for myself! So... Don't expect any updates from this guy for quite awhile!

I was able to get out there for just a little while the other day. I wanted to see the bed on it to see what challenges I had ahead of me. This sure would be a lot easier with a fleet side, but oh,well. I need to decide what I want to accomplish with this build. If I want to lay on 22's or go with a stock style wheel... What you guys think?

(three options: 22" Intro Twista Vista II, 22" smoothies with these caps, like delmo sales, or 15x7 with these caps and skinny white walls)

I love the wide whitewalls on the silver truck, but I think the "Delmo Smoothies" w/stock caps would be awesome! Then I'd even consider swithing the wheels between trucks to give a little change from time to time.

jasonhall · 05-30-2011, 08:21 AM

big centerlines or intros would look sweet

scotts62 · 05-30-2011, 08:52 AM

Looking pretty slick there Justin!!

skunkwerx · 05-30-2011, 09:55 AM

Smoothies with caps lol

I don't have an opinion on the wheels/tires because it really won't make any difference because anything will look good on this ride. You need to go with what you like.

Delmos smoothies, black w/polished lip, & those poverty caps for the 'grand slam'.

2nd choice (& much easier on the wallet w/the 2 projects & new family addition), would be OE black or grey steelies w/some standard black wall tires.
If WW's are a 'must-have', skinny standard WW's.

I am so jelous of your two trucks, awesome builds
