I might even travel for all an OBS show.
There wasn’t enough obs at this show. The way it was done was 98- under gm truck
Come on down! Dino's is 38 - 98 Chevy or GMC only too. Here's some pics from last year, taken by @spf1268

Here's details about this year's Git Down in November.

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

I look forward to seeing those in place, what flares have you gone with?
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.

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.

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

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

I say black or "cheese" color for the drums.
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
