That's a real eye-catcher, right down to the cool RAM's head on later pix. I would leave the badging off and let'em guess, ...

 

Very nice. Always jealous of folks that do their own paint and body. Looks good.

 

1st Gen I think the dually rear is 6 in. wider than the single. Which from your pics. would be about right I think your about an inch narrow on each side. Looks great though!!!!

 

What would look REALLY awesome is a set of really wide tires on the front instead of converting it to the one ton set up. Sorta like floats on a big truck!

I think the width looks just fine. I don't really like the factory dually's with the pick up beds. They always look like they're TOO wide, almost like a woman with a fat butt.

As for the stripe... I dunno.

 

That's a thought on the fronts, i had not considered that and i do like that look, and i'm about ready for some skins.

You did a great job! Are those second gen rims painted black?

 

Thanks .....they are off an 03, they are extreemly close on the inside but i can manage to run them without spacers, and yes they are alittle narrow also.

i'm just gona coast with the wheels i have right now and maybe some will fall into my lap.

I love the paint scheme!! Who woulda thought green/silver would go together. As far as the rear width it appears you could have gone with some wide flares instead of the fenders. Looks awsome Dude!! And by the way I am from Peotone,Il originally just a few miles north of Kankakee / Manteno area. I am in North Carolina now.

 

Thank you sir. i have been to peotone years and years ago to a huge car show/swap meet.

No one can say you're not an optimist!

I forgot to add that you DID do an awesome job on that truck. You should be proud!

 

Appreciated sir. I 'm just glad to be almost done with it.

my right arm looks like someone photoshoped Arnold's arm on me, i'm very tired of sanding but still got to wet sand and buff it.

a new headliner (whitch i have the material) and a comfy 60/40 late model leather seat and i think i will slow down for a while.

Dar,that would be the Tri-Chevy Swap and Car show.It was a huge club of Chevy 55,56 and 57 car owners. It was held at the Peotone Fairgrounds usually in late May or early June. I believe they still have the show there. It started out contained within the fair grounds but grew so big they had to spread the car show out into the north parking lot. Where are you in Southern Illinois? Your profile says "extreme" I would say Cairo is bout as extreme as you can get lolol!!

 

50 miles north of that rithing sespool luckily,

in between Marion and Harrisburg just north of rt 13.

I have also been up your way in Sandwich/Plano to buy some antique tractor parts, and then in Mendota to a tractor show.

those folks up there like polka music even the young guys..... i thought that was funny.
