Nothing wrong with the wheels, if you ask me. Keeps the trucks old truck character. I think they look great on the square body truck.

Nice truck, man.

Looks good man. I like the new paint job. Glad to see you back around. I like those tires with your truck better than the Thornbirds but I like the white wheels with the thornbirds better. Maybe I was just used to the thornbirds. Can't wait to see it in person.

dude, looks killer...
first gens have the most character imo...you can't beat the large metal bracket mirrors...and i like the grill....

def keep it that color and WHITE wheels FTW. I like it how it is...cept maybe a 460 would be ok.......
