    Thanks for the input guys

    Center caps - I've been looking for different options, I'll take them off and see how it looks without

    Flares - I have bushwackers in the basement ready to be installed. Gonna run them black for now, and see how I like them. I did consider color matching, but can't justify the money this year after new tires, rims, and the ome suspension. Wifey would be sad if I painted those flares...

    You never know how things are gonna tie together, but I'm happy with it, little tweaks here and there and it'll come together.

    Also gonna plasti dip the badges, and might swap the tailgate badges for 1st gen style, give it even more of a retro feel

    Who would have thought, six bolts would take so long....
    It's on, next project will be secondary fuse box, then wiring these bad boys in.

    x2, I think if they were color matched it would look a lot better. But I like where you're going with it!

    Yeah, maybe next year I'll color match them. I can't justify the money this year after the lift kit, new tires, rims, powder coating the rims, plus the flares, was enough money invested into a truck with 198k miles on it.
    Thanks for the comments though, I appreciate the feed back.

    you can buy the color match spray paint from autozone and places like that for pretty cheap!

    I am stoked for this build though. Love the retro!

    I really like the wheels

    White sliders/ white avid meh....they look ok (I'm partial to black so biased).

    makes me wonder what my truck would look like with white wheels...hm... they do need painted anyway.
