I'll never forget the day I went to Otay Mesa in southern cal, and found out there had just been a mass crushing of every single eighties truck they had in every yard out there. I still get bummed out when I think about it, and sorry for the language.

That defineatly sucks- Maybe that's why California is the land of fruits and nuts. The guy that runs the junkyard I go to the most says he buys every 80's Ford pickup that he can, and by the time he crushes them, there's not much left. And come to think of it- I don't remember seeing any Chevies!

Clean truck!
If you get wheels I would go with some of the OEM wheels from 87-96. There are a few to choose from. I think that any of them would look good.
Stay away from the aftermarket polished aluminum. It has to be polished all the time to look good. I recently got rid of a set of those and went with OEM wheels.
