I like the red truck in the background.......... Not a fan of white/cream colored wheels with chrome lugs, the lugs kinda get 'lost' on the light background. They don't 'pop' like with a dark (black) wheel. Same deal with chrome rings, they need that darker background to stand out. I'd keep the light wheels with the factory caps...style 2. I love my Power Wagon too but it doesn't have A/C yet and gets a whopping 7 MPG.

#2, same look as my truck, but mine has body colored wheels. What year is that, about an '83 I'm guessing? Still looks good for it's age. 82. 400, 4 speed with creeper 1st gear, 4:10 Dana, rubber floor, dual tanks that still work. Weird that it is an XL, but has AC and full gauges, though.

I like the 80-s ford body style but always avoided them due to the 80-s types smog sludge motors ford produced at the time.. I used to buy and flip a few as the cat/s would get clogged and any place that had a weak gasket would spit oil but was never motivated for an engine swap.
STOP POTATO HATE!

Number 1. I like to let the chrome nuts hang out so they can be seen, otherwise, what was the use of buying them? I guess I've had too many issues with the dog dish caps, the trim rings, and the full caps. Well I ordered them thinking about letting them show and maybe using the trim rings, but I don't care for the looks of the trim rings. But if nothing else I guess the closed lug nuts will help keep the threads from getting rusted. Everything rusts around here.

I like the not_a_charger idea. Sorry I know that wasn't a choice but his Ford looks good like that and I think your truck would look really good like that with matching blue wheels and caps. Otherwise #2.

At least 22' diameter, a foot wide, chromed, so the truck looks like a radioactive skateboard - oh, and jack it up 6" or so.
No, just kidding, that's ridiculous. Me, I'd run the silver or white wheels with hubcaps of the choices offered. Or a later model factory alloy wheel.
(Says the guy who perpetually agonizes over wheel choices...)

Guitar you knew it was 2 when you posted this... Not totally sold on it yet. I think I'm going to put the chrome lug nuts on and run it like that for awhile, it might grow on me.
