Just recently got most of the truck put together, it's victory red with eagle alloys 225 and a lot of drop. 20x8.5 front with 255/40/20 and 20x10 with 315/35/20 rear. any tips on keeping these polished wheels clean? i polished and waxed the wheels a few days ago and they already look like hell. i daily drive it lol.

 

nice lookin truck

 

Although I prefer fleetsides on the square bodys, you have done a nice job with that stepside. Is the LED light bar legal in TX as the only source of rear signalization?

 

I'd say bring the rear down a tad more, and run a fleetside, other than that it's a really clean truck!

Clear the wheels?

 

sorta, i have to put little reflectors on there to pass inspection but nothing they will pull me over for.

I completely agree with you about the stance, but the front wheels dont fit right and rub a little as it sits pictured. the front is on bags with just a schrader valve so i can play with it. To get it sitting right the front comes up a hair to make it level. Scrapes the front bumper going in driveways and parking lots so i don't know that lower is a good idea! it's my daily too...

Long story about the stepside bed. It was a originally a fleetside, but both bedsides, the front panel, and parts of the inners were either rusted to hell, or covered in tons of filler. I was going to find another fleetside bed and run a grants custom roll pan and shave the gas door/stake pockets, but a friend of my father's said i could have the stepside bed if i came and picked it up. Couldn't argue with that as i'm on an insanely tight budget. I've learned to like the stepside bed. We put a ton of work into to make it look nice, shaved chains, shaved gass door, shaved stake pockets, bedrails look like glass, shaved taillights, steel floor raised 4", etc etc. It's also way different. how many stepside squarebodies do you see with a stepside bed that's nice? next to none. At heatwave i'm pretty sure i was the ONLY stepside square there, and i was there both days.

i wish i could clear the wheels but it's waayyyy out of my budget.

 

Don't fret too much, enjoy the **** out of it for now, save money, and play later! It looks good.

 

I want that ! Fugging sick man !!!
Looks perfect to me !!!

 

I use stuff from Shineseal on all my polished aluminum. It's the old Zoopseal company under a new name. I don't know what it is but it seals the aluminum...you wipe it off with a damp microfiber and it looks like you just polished it. It's about 100 bucks for a kit off their site but it's worth every penny when you don't have to polish once a week.

 

Nice C10! Thanks for the post and info on the aluminum sealer. Im going to look them up and order some of their products. Link if you have one handy. Thanks again.

 

Well, slowly putting the interior together.

But some bad news, tranny started slipping BAD, but it felt almost like it was something leaking, the fluid looked brand new, no metal shavings, no noises, just bad slipping, came to the conclusion that when the shift kit/servo was put in a seal got damaged and is bleeding off fluid. Going to the shop that installed the shift kit tomorrow. Hopefully good news.
