Default In with the new ?? or in with the old ???

Hello there my CL adopted fam. I just wanted to share some good new. Ive just recently added a new or should I say middle aged lady to my garage. Some of you might of known, that I've been looking for a shop truck !! . And for some time I couldn't find the right deal. Either the trucks were to much $$$$ or in horrible condition for less $$$$. So after a long search to find that right truck for the right price. I stumbled upon this diamond in the rough.

I literally bought this C10 from a little old man who once owned a vegetable stand in Deland Florida, for real

The shell is already off and the 5-7 drop kit is on order. Wheels and tires are next. I'm working on getting it to look something like this .. (only with nicer wheels)

Thanks everyone . I'm real happy with the truck. The gentleman whom I bought the truck from, took real good care of it. Accord to him and the tittle the truck has 56,421 miles. He explained to me that being a truck diver he spent 80-90% of his time on the road. I guess anything is possible. There's hardly any rust on this truck. The firewall are notorious for rusting under the front window vents. There's not a speck here.

However there were some draw backs, front bumper was hit, AC didn't work compressor froze up. Truck sat for 3yr in a steel shed. And no radio.

I addresses all those issues today. Louis has a parts 87 C-10 and I went to town literally Over town..lol Mr. Louis worked on installing a new compressor,dryer, flushed the system. Ah AC ya gotta love it . I replaced the front bumper. And after Louis threw in the new Sony radio which the old fella threw in with the deal.

These is my first ever official Wheel Get It shop truck.

I Need your honest opinion on something..Here is an image of the WGI logo that I will be placing on the back glass . What do you guys think

In with the new ?? or in with the old ???-wheel-get-it.-logo.jpg

And thank you for all the kind words
