Re: EBAY Prostreet '49 P/U

I've lost my desire to run super wide rear tires having been in the bar ditch three times after hydroplaning on standing water during rain squalls but that is one nice looking truck that looks pretty well put together.

Re: EBAY Prostreet '49 P/U

I personally don't like the shorty exhaust dumping under the body.
I guess it's because I drive mine almost daily that it doesn't make sense.

Re: EBAY Prostreet '49 P/U

For 17k I think it would be a good deal. There was a lot of work done though I would want to unprostreet it myself. Is that a term?...unprostreet?

Re: EBAY Prostreet '49 P/U

I'd call that tubbed, but hardly pro-street. It takes more than a narrowed rear for me to consider it pro-street. The 350 with RV came and stock suspension hardly qualifies it in my book. And, the wheels don't lend to a racing theme either. I like it a whole lot. I like the standard cab with factory-like green. I would roll with steelies and caps with a carefully selected color for the wheels. Either stock color or classic accent color such as a pale green or cream to complete the sleeper vibe. But black would be sure to look right with that green. Oh, and a thumper motor. If it had a more custom looking paint job, then Centerlines or other popular drag alloys
