NBC steve I have ? for you. What size wheels are you running, because as far as I know we are running the same size rubber but your tires look so much meatier. My wheels are 16x8, and I like that meaty look. Thanks.

I was there HIO, and I had a chance to meet our friend NBC Steve and to see his beautiful truck in person. And if you think it looks good on your computer screen, you should see it in person!

Kool April Nights was a total blast! I take 2 days off just for the event, next year I may take 3 days and travel up on Thursday. I would encourage any FTE'ers to attend. Here's some photos of the cruise and the show.

The Candy Cane looks like it wouldn't be all that out of place at Pebble Beach!

And not to gush over a bunch of GM stuff, but...




That Firebird at top left appears to have had later model Ram Air scoops applied to it, and is that a Buick Apollo at bottom right? Had to be the only one there, hopefully still Buick powered.

NBC- steve I thought I had seen that truck somewhere before, the pics here on the FTE forum look great but nothing compared to seeing in real life.
Beautiful truck, maybe someday mine will look half that good.
