Looks great!! Love black wheels on a black truck! Add some cab lights and it will be perfect!

loving the black wheels. i did the same on my truck. :thumbsup:

I like it.

I should do the same to mine. Would like to also replace the cracked chrome grill and paint it black.

The body below the trim strips needs to be repainted on mine. One body shop suggested removing the trim strips on the sides. I'm not sold on that idea yet.

looks good but I have a dumb question... is your frame bent or is it just the photo? it looks like right where the bed and the cab meets

I don't think it is. Looks like that's just the rise in the frame where the rear axle and suspension goes.

All long box crews look that way to me. Must be my eyes playing tricks on me again.:rolleyes5:

its more likly to be the supports holding the cab up sinking a little bit. Look at our body style truck with about 500,000 miles in the woods and you'll see it taken to an unreal degree

I wasnt talking about that.... I was loking at the bed and the cab.... it looks like a V... the bed it point up and the cab is too... Its probably just the angle of the photo... truck looks good none the less

I think it's an optical illusion.

ohhh yea, the trim indentations on our trucks dont line up from the bed to the cab, follow the line with your eyes and you'll see.. I find that makes me think mine looks like a V sometimes.

just be careful and seal up the lights good. my factory ones used to leak like crazy but that's because the plastic lenses are all cracked from age. a tube of clear silicone solved my leaks until i can get a set of clear lenses.
