Default New 22" Texas Style Reps! 03 RCSB

Well guys, i posted a while back about trying to find a budget build truck for under 5 grand. I came across this pewter 03 on craigslist a few weeks ago and picked it up for 4500 bucks! RCSB. Pewter/pewter, 5.3L, 3.73. 150K miles.

It already had a belltech 2/4 kit on it (which is fine for now) but i'll be throwing a 5/7 c-notch on it here pretty soon to match my other 03 RCSB.

Anyways, first thing i did is rip the disgusting 20" "flea market special" wheels that were on the truck and got a set of the new 22" Factory Reproductions Texas Style Reps. It turned it into a completely different truck already. let me know what you guys think.

I already know i need to color match the bumpers. Not liking the black front and chrome rear. But hey, the one that was on it was dented and i had a spare black one. And its got a decent sized dent in the drivers side cab, but i think dent pros can pull it.

So far, ive spent 2 weekends detailing, shampooing the carpet, and fixing typical little things like, busted tailgate handle, ebrake release handle, passenger side door module... other than that, i'd say i found me a gem for 4,500 bucks!!

This is the day i picked her up!!

265/35/22 front, 285/35/22 rear. I could have fit some bigger meats on there, but i got these because thats what im running on my other truck with a 5/7 c-notch, and this one will be just as low.

They just came out with these. Mike from Factory Reproductions said im the 2nd person in CALI with them and the only person in the "bay area" with them. If you guys are interested, talk to Tony at TBSSowners.com, he's a super cool dude to deal with and hooked me up with the wheels, as well as the SS 22" reps on my other silvy!
