The fronts look pretty good. The rear looks like a chrome wedding cake. I would leave them off, those painted wheels look good as is.

Your paint looks awesome. Good job! I'm a fan of the hub caps on stock wheels. Leave them.

Thanks for the compliments just need bed. Have not decided on building a steel bed or purchasing aluminum bed from martins welding.
Cannon is a spud gun made from scrap metal.

Removed over load springs from the 73 and installed them on the truck. Also replaced the ubolts from 9/16 to 5/8.
