My Bulls got treated yesterday

[66gtk]

I found some wheels for the 83 on the local CL and repainted them.  Had new tires put on for a different look and it transformed the truck more than I thought it would.  It went from Grandpa's truck to Cool Uncle's truck.

Swapped the tires that were on the 83 to the 84, and had them mounted on some silver 8 spokes I sourced to put that truck back to original.  The 84 is now totally a Dad truck. Now I have the dentside versions of the wagons boxed up and ready for another project in the future.  I've been storing/keeping these for decades, so hopefully they won't mind going back in the boxes for now.

Nice!

Wow!  That '83 really looks SHARP!  I love it!

The '84 looks good as well, but that tutone paint on the '83 just pops.  

[ArdWrknTrk]

  Like night and day trucks!

They both look great, but you need to add the '84 to your sig.

It sure did. Excellent results. Well done.

Beautiful!

Those are both beautiful trucks. Really like that XL.

Tell me about your alias....66gtk? I assume you have a 66 Mustang K car?

[ArdWrknTrk]

Oh, black louvers!

Such a iconic look of the time.

Yeah, that's my baby, Jim! My first car bought back in 1977.....51k miles on it for $1100. It's on a rotisserie right now stuffed in my shop with my truck. Let me tell you, a 24x26' shop is not big enough to accommodate working on two vehicles simultaneously. I gotta get Blackie done and out of there but I keep finding stuff to do to him......headlight mod, tailgate paint, new dash, blend door repair, etc.

Thanks fellas.  Jim, my sig is staying the way it is.  My wife is pissed that the beautiful navy blue Ford is taking up space in the driveway so sadly, I am going to sell it.  Might put it on BaT or something.  It's a nice truck.  Heck, even the interior is nice.

[Gary Lewis]

That's a shame as that is a beautiful truck.  Someone is going to get a real peach.

[ArdWrknTrk]

That is real 'uptown' right there!

The navy truck is a stunner

Gary's right, someone is going to be tickled pink to have it in their driveway, even if your wife isn't.
