thank you everyone.  I'm very pleased with the look.  I was thinking of keeping the stock wheels but spied these on CL and just couldn't pass them up.

You need some 35's to fill in the fenders

Like the stock rally's

so just been collecting parts really.  but made some good scores at the yards these last 2 times...

bucket sliders from a 78 CC, really bought them for the passenger side since its just bolted to the floor and doesn't slide.



one piece rollbar for that I will clean up and have chromed... if its not outrageously priced.





rear bumper for a stepside and front windshield.

This may show my age a little not that I'm old but every time I see your truck I think of that movie Tremors from the 80's I think. Since I first saw that movie I always wanted a step side. Lookin too so far.

pfft, I get asked if I'm going to paint it like "John's truck" on "CHiPs".  I tell them I'm not a fan of the 3 stripes.  I still remember seeing it the first time on the show and thought how I wanted one.  now that's dating oneself.  lol

so this past weekend I was some forums and asking about the stepside bed fenders on why the replacement fenders have filler necks so low and are non-existent for the driver side for dual tanks.  I wanted some fenders with the gas doors (I think they look a lot cleaner) and wondered why those type of fenders didn't have the rear marker lights.  anyway, long story short, a guy said he had a set of fenders he wanted to get rid of from a project that never finished.  voila!

That's sweet..I like the loom of the doors as opposed to just two necks creeping out.
