That truck would look good with bicycle wheels!

IMO, nothing looks better than stock looking wheels though.

Re: original-71 update pics after new shoes and drop

Beautiful transformation.
It's perfect!
It's a '71 or '72?
The title had me confused.
'72 door panels?

Re: original-71 update pics after new shoes and drop

I watched the transformation of this one in person. She went from Prom Queen to Super Model in a few short weeks. It started out as a good looking restoration, but came to life when Hector and friends added a mild drop and new shoes.

Re: original-71 update pics after new shoes and drop

Extremely nice addition ... IMO the drop makes all the difference in the world. And the Pentias ain't bad either .... I have those same wheels on mine.

Re: original-71 update pics after new shoes and drop

I'm usually more of a stock rally wheel kind of guy, but I do like the look of yours dropped with aftermarket wheels.

Man that trucks is Beautiful!!!!!

Although the truck looked fantastic with the rally wheels, the intro's just set it apart, and puts it in a whole other league.

NICE JOB!!

Amen. On the "more pics" part.

I'm pretty sure I'm an "old fart"...I was 64 on my birthday yesterday (12/21/46) .

I go for the truck both ways. In favor of the new. But that's just me.

Where I'm REALLY an O.F., is on the price of those wheels. I like 'em. But I don't have the love or budget for 'em.
To buy them, I'd have to hold back my rent at the Old Folks Home for a few months .
