Default My truck

Well i cant find my thread about how Josh, Nubbz, painted the truck but i just got a fresh new set of wheels/tires mounted and it looks oh so good! Finaly i have wheels that match the badass paintjob. Anyways heres the pics















oh and wats powering her!


hope you all enjoy! Again big thanks to Josh for the paint job. I have to go over the truck again re wash it and than do a nice ole coat of waxing. Than off to do the wheels polish them really wheel and than i was told that theres a wheel protectant, zoops i believe the company is to keep them clean, so i will look into that. But hopeuflly you guys enjoy it.

hey it is still small, 355ci and mild built, and the tires arent that big just 285s. I think my next big project is getting a gm 12 bolt, mini tub the bed, and put some 315s or so wide tires on these bad boys!

That truck prob moves.!!. I remember when i had my Cammed out 5.0, I saw this S10 pickup with Prostars & SS badges, then I started thinking "what a poser". I guess he saw me looking & came out, then asked if i wanted to race. So me being the dumbass I was I said sure without asking/looking under the hood. I pulled up at the light behind him (lane next to me was taken), he has 10.5" Et streets on it & still fish tailed back & fourth like 4 times. Point of my story, all it had was a 355ci with a mild cam & supporting bolt ons.
