Im from a small town in Northwest Tn. five mile from the Ky. border this truck was bought new here in town from the local GM dealer belonged to a elderly man at his passing i saw the truck sitting for sale by the time i got back to purchase it was gone it wound up with a neighbor down the road from me he kept it in his pole barn and very seldom ever got it out its took me eight years to get this truck but i finally got him to sell it to me this week i guess he got tired of me stopping by his house every week to try and buy it. The truck has 68000 miles on odometer and interior still looks like new, paint looks good except for hood which will need a repaint 5.7 runs great. Now that i have the truck i cant seem to figure out what to do with it I have thought about lowering it and going with some nice aftermarket wheels or just repainting the rally wheels adding 3 bar spinner center caps with 255/70/ 15 tires and leveling the rear so truck sits even. Would appreciate some advice or opinions , thanks for the add

Welcome from Texas. When I bought mine it had some rims I didn't like on it. Then I found some rallies with white letter tires for sale on Facebook by luck that had just been posted. So grabbd them and swapped out. I Really like the difference they made.

So my vote would be to repaint and keep your rallies with new tires. Nice looking truck btw.

Howdy!

If you were to ask me... 255/70/15's with white letters, a set of spinners for the caps and then just call it good.
