Got the new wheels on ready for spring, i liked the black but these are better over all i think, and with the black centercap stickers removed they look alot like fikse fm5’s that ive always loved. Just waiting on grille and rollpan paint and needs deep detail and ill be ready to cruise.

They do look like FM5 which has been one of my favorite wheels too. The style fits the truck, looks great.

Question about your seats... Are they aftermarket or reupholstered OEM from another vehicle? Seems like they have some extra bolstering from most OEM seats.

Took some new pics, slowly working out all the new build bugs. Got the ride all nice n soft then hit some dips and ran my front tires into the fender cutting one bad enough i wanted to replace it.. needs different spindles to go really low but i prefer a muscle truck look not slammed anyways so not messing with it rn.
all part of the game i guess

I am with you, I like muscle/sport truck look. Dont slam this classic down any further, looks great as is.

Are you running stock bump stops? Maybe longer bump stops or roll the fenders to prevent this from happening again?

Hey Skolman is your centre console stock? If not where did it come from?
Thanks
