88GMCtruck's 98 Silverado Towpig Build: "Black Fox"

[96-1500]

I almost had myself convinced I wouldn't like the chrome covers, but now I see them, they look really good.

I don't blame you there. Can't beat brand new tires even if they are a bit on the tiny side.

Have you considered going with a slightly wider tire up front for the future? Something like 255/85R16 rear and 275/70R16 front? It really helps with the HD 4x4 look IMO, and does so while keeping space between your rear tires without poking them out past the flare.

Naw I plan to keep the same size all the way around. Make rotating tires easier. Plus narrow tires get better mileage....

Thanks!

as if it's ever going to be easy to rotate the tires on a dually...

Looks great.

I think you need to throw some black paint on that exhaust

Looks good, I like those sill protectors. Wish someone had put a set on mine at some point. They are down to bare metal in a few spots....

Well, you know.... I think replaced will look better than painted. Just sayin'

Although for the time being I might splash something on there.

I think Lund under the deflecta-shield name sold them as well, I put a set of them in my 88 when the paint started to wear through. They aren't terribly expensive and really look good IMO.

Thanks Chris!

I love watching this build because

1. You have superb taste in trucks and build them in a way that it should have come factory.
2. Your truck is mines polar opposite.
3. It's just a sweet truck to begin with, but now it's better x10!

Looks awesome so far!

Sent from the big block!

lookss great but i think that clear front turn signals would look better than the black, looks like something you see on a slammed civic
