After:


33x10.5 BFG MT's on new wagon wheels. Stock beat suspension with 3" body lift. I like the closer-to-factory look!

Looks good Justin!

I just picked up a set of white wagons for the Laredo...I like it! 'Course anything would have been better than the ghetto rollers that were under it.

Very clean truck, although I like the turbine wheels a lot more than the wagons. Polished up those turbines look sweet.

Thanks everyone! I have a set of dull gray wagon wheels on my Waggy and thought long and hard about swapping those. But I love the look of the white wheels on this truck. It is the same color scheme as the Honcho in all the ads from 76.

The truck looks better in the pictures than it actually is. There is rust in the bed and spots where the clear coat is peeling. Like most rigs it is a work in progress.

Oh and I am planning on selling the turbines. Figured someone might want them. No idea what they are worth though. Any thoughts?

WOW!
Very Nice!
Clean and shiny!
I would love to drive a nice truck like that around.

I like the white wagon spoke wheels best.
The wheels and tires combo gives your rig a aggressive look.
