my old setup was 15x8 stamped steel american racing wheels ( couldnt afford hammers) with 50 series sidewall. 195 50 15 I believe. torsion bar loosened all the way. bumpstops taken out, hangers redrilled, frame C notched (with a pipe), 4 inch blocks, only bigs and littles on the leaf springs.. gabriel air shocks for adjustability!!!!

fenders were rolled with a baseball bat... and to cover the warpage we bolted up stainless steel fender trim...

tweed interior, vinyl insets, spray fleck dashboard, graphic equalizer / booster , M&M 8 inch see through subwoofers. color matched shifter, shifter boot, driving lights (with covers), color matched wiper blade (only one like a lamborghini) with double b;lades and wind wings (2 sets) sotck mirrors replaced with baby turbos mounted on the a pillar. swatch shields sunglasses hanging from the colormatched bandana.
N2Deep back to the hotel cranked as loud as you can.

any further questions? ;D

You nailed it man,,, I need a time machine to go back and get some of that stuff,,,,,,, You cant find a good equalizer / booster these days!!!

The rims that came with the truck havesome offset so I am looking at some BF Goodrich 255 60 15's... They will stick out... I will have to get an alarm to keep the vato's from stealin' it just for old time sake...
