Chevy, ford, gmc and dodge all looked great in the 80s Big beefy manly trucks!!!

So awesome! Way better than buying new. The cool factor and overall satisfaction of owning this and knowing the work you put into it is priceless. These trucks are becoming so valuable because everything now is just a computer on wheels.

Thank God someone with common sence knows what wheels and tires to put on a classic. Im so sick of seeing these older and later model trucks and cars with these stupid 20 inch or taller wheels and skinny tires.. It look like a steel wheel steam engine on the road.. God bless you man you saved my hope in the human race..lol you cant buy these trucks no more I dont blame you for spending the money and keeping a truck that's well built..
