stick with you current front end. i also dont like the rockstars on the older truck, but thats just my opinion. i have always wanted a truck like yours to work on. foose has a wheel that resembles the old kreager (forgive spelling) i believe. i would also shave your front marker lights and bed stake holes. but i love the current stance it really looks good.

It's not just chrome rockstars with red stars that are played out, its every rockstar ever that's played out.
Looks like a nice truck to start with :D
You don't see a 5th wheel in a RC/SWB truck much :looking:
It will be cool...lookin good.
Keep it red.

01-23-2008, 01:01 PM
Yea im tryin to fin a 20 inch rally style wheel or maybe keep it old school with the 15s.\
Think i should keep the rallies silver or black them too? grille?
stepsidebowtie
01-23-2008, 01:40 PM
I think the phantom grilles on those square bodies look pretty good. I'd paint the ralleys red with some fat white walls if you keep it old school

I love this look all flat black primer
http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a269/cody7777/cody777-6.jpg

definitely against the rockstars. too modern for the classics. man that stereo system gets more and more crazy with every post.
jlee003
05-07-2008, 04:34 AM
i am also against the rockstars. i like the phantom grille though. i also think it would look better without the hoodscoops as well imo
servlo
05-07-2008, 07:12 AM
No Rockstars please!! Looks good though. I say lay it and run stocks. Cant wait to see more pics.
Its kind of fun to see progression pics of interior its almost like the the speaker box between the seat is growing with each set.
TheMaroonBaboon
05-07-2008, 10:38 AM
lol every time i see a new interior pictures the sub box keeps getting bigger and bigger. next pic it will take up the passenger seat

05-07-2008, 10:44 AM
Man, do something with the stereo. Wires draped across the floor, what looks like a bandpass box sitting on the floor, 2 6x9s pointed at the dash and the ceiling.....
cody777
05-07-2008, 01:45 PM
Yea the steroeo changed some lol its the same subs just in a different bowx. yea i know everything is in temporary spots untill i can get around to building my console.

your ears must be killing you.
cody777
08-19-2008, 10:25 PM
The hood is the famous logo and its painted on not a decal and the stereo is gone ansd the stock bench is back in i got 6.5s in the doors the 6x9s are still in that box in the middle and i got tweeters also it gets prettty loud and dont sound bad for what it is. im bout t oput two cvr 10s behind the bench soon hopefully!
jlee003
08-20-2008, 05:04 AM
cool, not oo familar with "famous" but if you like it then that's cool. it looks like you are making some good progress. those rallies really set it off
cody777
08-20-2008, 10:14 AM
Thanks man and the rallies are the first thing everyone complements on its got so much work left ot d othough! I need me a daily bad so i can really tear into it!
AuburnTruck93
08-20-2008, 12:07 PM
CVRs are very air space intensive. and with their deep mounting depth i doubt you can fit them without eating the dash.
daved931
08-20-2008, 12:28 PM
The flat black and those rally wheels look really good together. Don't ever paint it.
cody777
08-21-2008, 03:34 PM

cody777
09-01-2008, 08:02 PM

09-02-2008, 01:12 PM
I know what ya mean. I blew up my motor the summer i was 16. it took the guy ALL summer to put my new motor in. i didnt know anything about motors then or i would've done it myself. the wait almost killed me!
