Will you post some pictures of the painted dash parts?

Ditch the aluminum rims for chrome, maybe black steelies. I don't remember the name of the rim style, but they look like the rims on NASCAR, and are usually white, black, or chrome. I think that's what the "Fall Guy" GMC had on it but I'm not 100% sure. And put white lettering on tires OUT for everyone to see.

Plus, if you really want to be 80's, you should rip out the factory stereo and put in a Spark-O-Matic with cassette player! lol

Sweet ride though, sweet ride. And awesome price. I never find deals like that!

I know EXACTLY which tim you are talking about BLACK05TJ but I can't find any that are available in a 17 inch as 16 inch rims will not work. They used to be called "wagon" wheels, and it is indeed what was on the Fall Guy GMC. That style would DEFINITELY be perfect for what I'm trying to accomplish. Oh, and if I put in a cassette player I couldn't listen to all my 80s cd's!!! LOL. Or listen to 80s on 8 satellite radio! But keep the ideas comming fellas I'm wanting to create a truck that nobody else has!

Halo Maxx and Dick Cepek make some awesome wheels that have black accents on them. WOuld look awesome on your truck with the black roll bar and side steps.
