Dang, that is a big pushguard, it would get used up here with all the critters running around! I'd say yelllow, kinda like the Top hand rigs, there's gonna be a lot of yellow on that truck.

In my opinion, I think black would look better but that's just me. It will be a really cool truck either way. If you don't mind me asking what did it run you to have the wheels done. Thanks

It's one of my favorite ad pics they had. I love the single headlamp set up at well.
