    Thanx man. She is getting a satin surf green and ivory paint job. Think I'm gonna go with steel wheels, baby moons, and wide whites. Trying to figure out what sizes I can tuck under the fenders

    On a stock truck had 30x9.50's on 15x6 stock 70's style wheels, no rubbing. Your results may vary depending on what you have changed.

  5. Are you running stock 6 lug or 5? 15 x 8 Ansen sprints look great on a TF!

    Thanx 4 pedals. I may try 15x6 on the front. Hopefully go a little eider on the back. I've got a 6in front & 8in back drop. I like the baby moons with wide white wall look

  11. ^^^,...thanks, it's not driveable yet,...I clipped it with a 72 Nova stub, Nova rear on top of orig. leaf springs, (shackles flip'd) so I'd guess it's drop'd 4-5" ...

  14. ^^^ those big back windows look cool, but aren't,... they are a pain in the neck when it's hot, better have AC,..they are like a greenhouse.
