oh f- yea! i dont see how sidepipes could ever look wrong.

btw ive seen stacks on these trucks before. it was a retrofit of the little red ones i think it was a custom job. anyhow sidepipes ive never seen on these trucks but i think theyd have to be massive suckers to look right.

hmm...less is more? Your truck is so clean the way it is, not sure the side pipes are the way to go. If you do then you may need to balance it out with a set of chrome 20's.

Heavens no, please don't put big rims on your truck, that would kill the classic look. If you put side pipes on it, make sure there's two or more exits on each side IMO, it just doesn't look right to have one pipe out each side.

If you had a lift, they would probably look ok. I think they will probably be too close to the ground and look not quite right. And I agree about not getting the big rims. It is a classic truck, not a slammed ghetto machine!!!

Don't like sidepipes on anything, especially on a vehicle as pretty as yours.

I dunno, how do you think it looks in this quick photoshop? Doesn't look quite right to me.

I think the side pipes would look really nice on your truck man, its sweet as it is and adding the side pipes would make it even cooler. BTW nice photochop job comma, that looked like the real deal man!
