Not my taste, but it can certainly be remedied. I believe you can buy the truck with the original wheels for a couple of grand less...which is the approach I would take, IF I could afford the truck, which I can't, so moot point.

It would be a nice looking truck if not for those 22" rims.. I want to test drive it. Would love to see how bad those 22" rims would look after hitting a couple of curbs, potholes and maybe a disced fields. I would just have to say "Oh I thought I was driving a truck opps"...

Rubber band tires ride like a log wagon.

I always liked a white bumper with the aluminum grille on custom cabs.

the wheels are ugly and way too big. i bet those wheel flanges are jacked. a better looking set of wheels that look like they should sit on a 42 yr old truck and that were 18's would be better. what is on that thing anyway....airbags? not my style but the truck does has potential.

Looks like a perambulator.

It's missing the push handle bar and the place for the diaper bag to be a perambulator, JC...

You need mirrors like that to see what's behind you. Can't see out of these.

Really nice 65, but those wheels, Donk wheels just are out of place on a 40 plus year old Slick. Makes it look like one of those toys made by DUBS that they sell at Wally World. As stated previously, they ride like the proverbial lumberwagon. Freakin rubberband tires are a joke on a truck. I wonder what happens to them when you hit a big water puddle at freeway speed? TR

while i agree the round mirrors are tiny, those square ones do not belong on a slick .
i guarantee i would bust at least one of those wheels before i hit the railroad tracks 2 miles from my house.
otherwise its a nice looking truck

i still think these are the best kind of mirrors because no extra holes
