Impressive man! Not just the truck. But that you did the work to get it that Impressive

[Bringit]

Not much of an update. Been pretty busy lately. But, I had a chance to get the hood back on and lined up, and figured I would grab a quick cell phone pic. It was already dark, but grabbed it anyways to show any kind of progress at all. its been moving along at a snails pace, but I hope to be finished before the end of year. And also plan on getting some decent pics of the truck this weekend. Weathers supposed to be nice.

I saw that those weren't yours, but you had talked about doing the same.

It's just a taste thing, and I am not saying it to knock your truck at all, it still looks great.

I have a bias only because I do not like chrome torque thrusts on anything.. Well, I should say I would not prefer them. I don't think they detract from the looks but I don't think they improve them either.

Yea, I just knew that I wanted a 20" wheel/tire combo. And its somewhat difficult to do on a classic truck, without looking ghetto. So, I know the Torque Thrust II is done over and over, but its a style that doesn't look out of place on a 45-50 year old truck.

I build them to my taste, but I post pics of them to get everyone else's opinions...and I don't mind any opinion good, bad, or indifferent.

I understand completely, and figured that would actually be the first comment posted after the pics. But once again, those weren't my wheels, I was just borrowing them, as they belong on a friends 53' F100. Ive still got a set of steelies (Color Matched Green) that I can interchange...but, from day 1...I built this truck with the 20" torque thrust wheels in mind.

I haven't gotten a whole lot more done lately. The College football season typically takes up most of my weekends, but I'm slowly getting it back together. Just doing alot of piddly small stuff, wiring, interior panels...etc...

I got the front/back glass back in, and the aluminum trim on it.

I just got the grill back, from being stripped, polished, and re-sealed. i think it came out pretty nice. installed new headlights, and all new wiring harnesses, for both headlights and turn signals. Installed clear lenses, for the turn signals.

And of course, threw the wheels on to see how it was going to look. Im pretty happy, as I measured, remeasured, and measured again, to get the size/offset just right. 20x8.5 in front, and 20x10 in rear.

I still have a ways to go, and am not sure how much free time I'm going to have to work on it, but feel like Im so close. Still need to color sand/buff the entire truck. Anyways, I grabbed a few pics Saturday with my phone. will post up some better pics, onceI throw the hood on. (And yes..I still need to realign all the body panels, but am waiting to install the hood to ensure everything lines up.
