Thank you! yeah it looks fairly straight! I'm 50/50 on the late model wheels. When they're shined up they look super sharp, and they're in great condition, but there's something about the white steelies that I can't let go...

Thank you! So I looked into retrosound, but I'm headed down a different path. Found a Bluetooth Amp I can hide under the seat, which will run the factory radio, and power 2 6x9's in the corner, and a pair of 3.5's in the dash spot, and also be able to play music and hands-free calling from the iphone.

Now you need to purchase a travel trailer to match, one of the older sixties ones they called canned hams, then you would have Sweet Peas & Canned Ham, what a combo that would make.

HAHA! love that plan. Its definitely set up to tow, and a retro canned ham would be wayyyy cool! I've got the rims in the cart, just need to replenish the funds to buy em. Still on the fence about which style caps to run. I see a lot of squarebody trucks running the earlier style dog-dish caps and i really like them better, but i have a full set of the later pie plate style ready to go... decisions...
