I would definatly go with the torque thrusters...everone else has them and this way your truck wont be much different and seem to blend in
Same with the smoothies
Find a cool wheel and be different. I was going to go with the torque thrusts and after last summer at the local cruise...60% were torqe thrusts...Man I have to be diiferent I thought and started my search for a way different style
Smoothies would be a better choice, at least they have a nostalgic look and look good on most anything
My .02 cents

If your truck has the original motor and tranny, keep the original feel, go with the smoothies.
If you made a jump to a newer motor and transimission (restification?!) go with the thrust.

Since everyone has a different preference here, why not go with smoothies in the front and Torque Thrust in the rear? Would definitly be different and you'd get the best of both worlds. LOL....

I've got a pic of a green 56 with big smoothies-I'll see if I can dig it out.
I like 'em both-depends on what look you want.

This is the truck that Alan Johnson built for Bob Johnson (no Relation). I think Bob may have sold it. I saw it at Pigeon Forge and then again in Atlanta back in 2003 at a show. As far as splitting the difference TT's on one end and smoothies the other that probably won't be one of the choices.

Don't dismiss John's idea too quickly! I don't think he's too cool to run emblems, door handles and smoothies with hubcaps and trim rings on one side while having the other side with shaved emblems/door handles, one piece side glass and TT's!
Kinda slow today...

I'm sticking to the traditional rod look. Never give in, never give out.

I like the smoothies, but it would depend on the color of your truck and of your wheels. Black on Black would not be my choice - but I like the orange/orange combo, or the apple green/orange combo.
Going with the wide open spokes also means you have to dress up your disks, and rear brake drums - even parts of your suspension would show if the wheel was tall enough. I never cared to go around with my nuts showing.
