    “Government cheese” how it started vs how it’s going

    I also decided to cut off the cheese part, if I had made the sticker mirror the other where the cheese faced forward like it did on the drivers side then maybe, but all and all I am happy with the in general look. Definitely meaner looking with the wheels and flares

    “Government cheese” how it started vs how it’s going

    It took a little modification on the front flares, they have a little plastic that pushed them off the fender in the front and rear, honestly they are probably there so the flares can push off the fender further but that didn’t really work with how the back ones mounted, I zip wheeled them off...

    “Government cheese” how it started vs how it’s going

    So the drivers side is done, I had to slice of pieces of the front flare get the plastic snaps through. I think it was there to push the flare out further but the only other way that they are held on is 3m tape up top and that I felt like would cause an issue with them pulling. I have to do the...

    The drums don’t really show through, so I’m not going to worry about it right this second. Going to finish getting these flares mounted and rims on and off the jack stands to see what this looks like

    “Government cheese” how it started vs how it’s going

    Rears are almost done, waiting to finish passenger rear and the tire shop is mounting the tires right now. Should I paint the rear drums?? They will show through the windows. And if so black or a contrast color? I know it can look kiddo ish but rust color doesn’t really work either

    So the flares pretty much line up with the holes in the front fender, enough to throw 4 screws in it so it doesn’t keep falling in my head

    “Government cheese” how it started vs how it’s going

    So the flares came in, they say that they or OE style. I just stuck them up with a little tape and the stick a wheel on…. The 3.75 backspace brings the rims out a lot, I don’t think it’s too much but I need to get a the front end off the ground better and check the lock to lock.

    This is what I ordered, no info on the page about dimensions but they looked similar to the ones on the silver truck so we will see, they still aren’t scheduled to arrive till Thursday though.

    Came home to a nice surprise, weren’t supposed to be here till Wednesday. I guess I could pull a wheel and mock it up but still waiting on the flares. Guess I will set them in the basement next to the tires

    An all obs show might be a little rough yet. There are a ton of them still used as work trucks. There wasn’t enough obs at this show. The way it was done was 98- under gm truck C10sinthecity.com

    So I completely forgot today is C10s in the city.. the wheels say they are out for delivery today so I guess I should’ve taken the forsale sign out of the truck but whatever

    “Government cheese” how it started vs how it’s going

    So I have basically decided against the aluminum at this time this is the tailgate molding I saw last night. It first come al the way to the end on the truck pictured and kinda has a nice contour to it . Maybe with the flares I would like it?? I don’t know, I’m just waiting for the flares to...

    “Government cheese” how it started vs how it’s going

    I like that look and is definitely my budget friendly kind of stuff. I think I’ve nixed the idea of a spoiler for the rear unless it’s such a dramatic bend that if I sit on the tailgate my legs won’t hit it or get burned on raw aluminum “ I’m saying that word British style” Al u min e Um. I just...

    “Government cheese” how it started vs how it’s going

    I thought about covering them as it is technically the perfect spot, but being government they really just layed them on straight so it doesn’t follow that body line I would like to follow,plus I’m a fan of the old #s on there, it’s even in the tailgate and my Key. My wife left her hand bag out...

    “Government cheese” how it started vs how it’s going

    Yeah won’t go above, I even put ‘em on the bedside like SPORT or 454ss they weren’t big enough for bed side I’m thinking they are going below and furthest rear towards the door. I don’t want the to get to close to the fender flares.

    “Government cheese” how it started vs how it’s going

    NASCAR theme is just referring to the basket wheels in general, I would call it a patina work truck theme. I don’t have any plans for the power plant at this time. Just the stock motor. Flares and rims are on their way and I think I’ve nixed the idea of a spoiler for the rear I think. I was...

    “Government cheese” how it started vs how it’s going

    Appreciate it, I agreed at first but hard to tell unless I go get it and bring it home and plastidip it black. But I think once I’ve gotten the idea of a NASCAR work truck?? Theme the aluminum will look better

    “Government cheese” how it started vs how it’s going

    So I will be waiting for parts until next week, says the 7th but always something is late and especially with the holiday weekend. I have no plans to do much to it till then. I looked at a roll pan but am not there yet, wing?? If it falls in my lap or if I order the custom made one it won’t be...

    “Government cheese” how it started vs how it’s going

    This is a an abs wing i could get from a guy and it’s when I started thinking about other setups. I love the look of the intimidator ones but won’t spend the money on one and still have to do things to the paint of the truck etc. so the aluminum / steel wing idea. I was going to just bend a...

    “Government cheese” how it started vs how it’s going

    I ordered the wheels and the fender flares yesterday they should be in right after Labor Day or so then I can mock up the look to see if the flares or the wheels stick out where I want. 15x10 3.75 back space I have 275/60-15 in the basement to go on them if it looks like a good fit. There was...

    “Government cheese” how it started vs how it’s going

    I was calling it AA Ron because the lettering on the side is AA346. But honestly I didn’t really start to put the idea of the truck together until the name government cheese. I knew I wanted a shop truck look but was considering painting over the door logos to get it until the word “work”truck...

    “Government cheese” how it started vs how it’s going

    So after a bit of considering I think I like the look of the silver truck / let’s call it NASCAR look. It started with the wing idea as I didn’t need to do anything to the truck to add a duckbill spoiler. I can buy a abs one some guy didn’t like on his and might look ok but I’m leaning towards...

    Got tired of the crappy cover and cheap floor mats. Went with a saddle cover from Amazon tied it pretty good and then 3m spray glue to get it right in spots
