Post flaming my 150

OK, I know what you're thinking. I did not copy the idea from KIAL. Just want some opinions from other on how these would look on my truck with ghost flames.


The gauges.


The steering wheel.


The wheels.

You can find more info for the wheels and steering wheel at http://www.coloradocustum.com .

I think it would look pretty awesome James! I don't know I could get used to the steering wheel - knowing me I'd get my nails caught in it & then try explaing THAT to an officer! LOL! But I think the whole package would go together nicely! Go for it!

2 words = slight problem:

Air Bag.

It looks sweet, but I don't think you could get an airbag that small. Maybe an older custom street rod? Definately got some potential... patent the design and sell it to Summit Racing and give me a cut of the profits!

umm... when you go custom sometimes you have to give up stuff
like for me i would take the safety airbags out of the steering wheel and make up for it by putting on firestone airbags to drop it on the ground.......mwahahah

No, those steering wheels are awful. We drive trucks, not hot rods.

I agree with Mudder. If you have a `33 Ford Roadster, I can see it, otherwise, no. But that's just my opinion.

As a Crime Scene Photographer, I would NEVER
consider giving up an AirBag for some funky aftermarket steering wheel. And for those that choose to. I believe your insurance company would be fully justified in adding, oh lets say, an additional 25% surcharge for covering ignorance. AirBags work, AirBags work, AirBags work!!!, please believe me. I have seen both sides of the argument.
Please wear your shoulder belt too.

HEY!! The gauges look great. I can defintley tell that there is a visual problem though, but acceptable. But with the steering wheel, I would ONLY use one like that if the truck were for shows. And even then I still wouldnt drive it. In my opinion, XTRUKY'S orange SCrew is better. Hey man, NICE TRUCK!!!!!!
