87 4x4 project.

[JayMeg12]

Any ideas that would make it a nice head turner? Besides paint and wheels.

Do you plan on paint and new wheels already? A nice straight body on a 73-87 is the best way to make it a head turner. I also prefer stock rally wheels or aftermarket wheels that look like they came from the same era as the truck.

Then I would give it a little altitude. The newer trucks sit pretty high stock and with a lift yours would sit higher and look bigger and badder.

If that doesn't work for you then just put a pretty girl in the passenger's seat!

For paint I'm thinking either black or royal blue.   Im putting a 4 inch suspension lift and probably 35's.  new fenders and grill.

^^^This.

Those wheels are gaudy. I'd get the body straight, paint it, and be the envy of most.

Lift it 4" with 35's
Put a set of GM Rally's with trim rigs & centers
Straighten the body and put a nice 2 tone paint job
Chrome body side moulding
Install a nice sounding exhaust either Flowmaster or Magnaflow

All this should make it a real head turner

go with the lift and tires, will make it look good.
also lots of chrome.
tint the windown, lights bars running boards, bumpers, wenchs, etc will make it look nice.
nice good sounding exhaust
