Crazy GREAT weather in Western New York!

It's partly sunny and about forty degrees today, unbelievable weather! I actually was able to connect my battery back up and take Lucille around the block today! She ran great, looked great, everything was great!
Hope everyone had a nice Christmas!

That is a beautiful truck there, Wally. I love the 'rings and baby moons on the wheels. Such a classic look. What size wheels and tires are you running? The stance is perfect.

Thanks, the front wheels are 15" x 7" GM rally wheels with 245/60 tires, and the rears are 15" x 8" (GM rallys as well) with 265/60 tires. I have a set of American Racing wheels in boxes I was going to switch but I'm not 100% sold on them. I need to replace these tires because they're dry-rotted so I'll mull it over in the spring. The original owner went with a GM driveline and added front disc brakes. If I add the front suspension/power steering (mustang II kit, which I was planning on) I want to lower the truck two inches too. Decisions, decisions...
