mine has a split front window as well. it has windshield wipers and a window squirter that supposed to work still, but i dont know where lever or knob is? im prolly just gonna drive it around and do little stuff in interior as of now... i kinda wanna slam it or maybe put 13" spoke wheels on it maybe. i have a H2 thats super tricked out and id rather drive my dodge lol.

Are you sure you're on the right forum???[P

 

[dirtyG]

hahaha... just thinkin out loud on 13"s. i dunno.

went with my gut and put it on daytons and i'm very happy!
whatcha think???

The truck's patina is really cool. Not sure the Daytons fit the Rat Rod style, if that is what you are going for. I associate daytons with lowriders, hydraulics, candy paint, etc.

But hey, its your truck so if you like it, that's what matters.

 

[dirtyG]

appreciate it. i'm really digging it. i'm always changing my mind, but i seem to always like what i do until i get a new idea... right now i'm looking for a sun visor. i think that will make it look semi-chopped. even considering doing a distressed copper color paint job.

slots

the wires don't fit the era, that truck is screamin' for an old school 5 spoke or some aluminum slots
