I hate it, only my house and another have that ******* driveway, every other house has more normal slopes. I wish I would have known before the house was built what they were planning on doing, but oh well.

How many steps do you have from your house to your garage? I have seen this where they forget to drop the garage floor elevation. Dropping the garage floor elevation would have lessened the slope towards the street(there is a maximum percentage slope-varies from state to state). Sorry, I work for a concrete subcontractor and the pic caught my eye.

pics does look funky. Looks like there is almost a swale running in front of the door. Meaning it slopes down from the grade break back towards the door, but also from the door towards the front = almost a V-ditch type setup.


If anyone wants to do the black stock wheels with hubcaps - I have these I will part with for CHEAP! They cover more wheel than the other setup but could look cool for that old school look. It's just not my style so I won't be running them.

My '79 F350 with flat black spokes and 36" Military Goodyears. Temporary setup until I get my 5-slot aluminum wheels polished and installed.

I never got the "new" style wheels on old trucks. Definitely not for me. Then again it's not my truck so who cares.
