Looks real good. I was noticing that the rear tires look sucked in more than the front ones when you go to buying wheels you might get some rear wheels with a different off-set or change out the rearend for a wider one. My cousin had one like yours but he had 10" wheels all around and it made a difference just like on my truck when I bought the tires/wheels used of coarse but the were almost brand new in fact they still had nubs on them they came with 8.5 wheels and the back tires looked sucked in so I went back with my 10" wheels. But im just picky don't mind me. Also my cousin got a power steering system from a new model truck like that and it bolted right on plus the A/C system he had on it went right below the dash I remember it being a long one that went from the gas pedal area to the passenger door just giving you some ideas. I can't wait till it's done I know it takes time but you have been doing great on it.

thanks guys. later it will get power steering i found the same kit. and power brake too. as for ac not yet we well see how that goes. i do have a ac and heater unit out of a ford that my cosin gave me and it will fit under the dash with little mods. as for the wheels torq-thrust would be nice but i like the wheels i got.lol. and its just a trick pis i guess because as far as i can tell the rear wheels are even with the fronts. these wheels are craigers that i took of a chevy suburban and cleaned and painted up. the caps are not original though. i want to get some bullet caps and lugs for it later.
