The shaved fenders almost look like a tacoma with shaved fenders.

purplepassion · 03-23-2009, 12:35 AM

2ToneS10 · 03-23-2009, 12:35 AM

phillip7 · 03-23-2009, 12:43 AM

If you get an hombre bed are you going to do the tear drop tubs or something different?

///AL · 03-23-2009, 12:44 AM

i hear ya. if mine didn't already have them shaved, they wouldn't be. painted to match & no worries looks better in my eyes.

and good deal on the bedsides

phillip7 · 03-23-2009, 12:49 AM

I was hoping so, because the floor look so go on your truck.

GET_LOW · 03-23-2009, 12:50 AM

You find a bed yet locally AL?

And are you still planing the V8 swap or gonna hold off?

bagdnbdrpt · 03-23-2009, 12:53 AM

looks awesome. i always wanted to run hombre fenders, and bed with a noma hood and front end but i think the phantom billet is a much better idea. cant wait to see the finished product.

///AL · 03-23-2009, 12:54 AM
