Coming along..

Well the old truck is coming along. It's a '78 but i'm putting the older style grill in it because thats what I prefer. I like the 78-79 grill, but I just got kind of burnt out on seeing it all the time, I wanted something a little different. The truck is going to be painted back jade green and wimbledon white, only I'm just going to paint the top white, and not put the trim back on the sides and it's just going to be green from the bottom of the roof down. I'll probably put some kind of white stripe along the side though. Here are some pictures.

I picked up this set of American Racing Baja's for $200. They're a little dirty, but a great deal IMO

very nice. I like the rims. You should get the chrome that goes around the back of the cab to break up the transition between white and green.

Maybe next time make a gallery and post your pictures. I have dial up internet and it took forever for the pics to come up.

AND FOR DESSERT: cheese to go with my whine

good deal. I always liked the way it looked on 2 tone trucks.

PS. I wasnt trying to act like a tool with the picture deal. Just making a suggestion. No big deal

are those rims going onto the truck in your signature? if so, are you changing your axles? im just curious, nice progress so far, gotta love them swiss cheese floors, real cheap air conditioning.
