Re: '63 GMC Project
Thanks for the input guys. Don't get me wrong, I love the looks of the steeies too but as it sits it's not exactly ideal because of the scrub line. if I get a flat in the rear my lower link/shock mounts will drag. Plus the tall sidewall doesn't do much for the handling. Maybe if I can find some nice 17" or 18" whitewalls and steelies...:metal:

Re: '63 GMC Project
im with these guys!! i would say keep the smaller wheels but i just really dont like big wheels on old vehicles but you do have some good reasons to want some
i think some chrome smoothies would look great on ur truck to match the the clean grill and bumpers. as for the yellow lights i think it would be cool to have all of them yellow..i really like yellow headlights |
Re: '63 GMC Project
I think your truck can pull off both style wheels. You could keep the steelies and just switch it up every once in a while for a different look. Nice build by the way...

Re: '63 GMC Project
Thanks! I'm really leaning towards the bigger rims because If I need to remove a rear wheel now I have to remove the top shock mount bolt to let the axle drop enough to monkey hump the wheel out of the wheel opening. Which means I would have to jack it up from the side of the frame. I'm thinking a bigger wheel would make it much easier to get the wheel out and still be able to jack it up at the axle.

Re: '63 GMC Project
how about some of those 20" steelies?

Re: '63 GMC Project
Definitely a possibility. Any wheel I get will have an old school feel to them.

Here's what I'm talking about. 2nd one in a month. Luckily the first one was short and only went into the treads and didn't pierce the tire. Not so lucky the second time. It was on the edge were I was told it couldn't be patched because of the roll of the tire. I ended up just getting 4 new tires because I was affraid the whitewalls wouldn't match (and my front tires were kinda chewed up from rolling much lower than my alignment height).

Here's a couple of random shots: the first is it sitting in my driveway after cleaning it up a little and the second one is it sitting at ride height waiting to be put away after a cruise-in and dinner with some friends.

Re: '63 GMC Project
Love the Hot Wheels truck/packaging. You might want to try some Photo paper for a glossier sheen. There are even sample packs available that provide a variety of different surfaces so you dial in the best selection without spending a fortune.

Here's a pic from the Salem Super Cruise in Salem, OH...

Re: '63 GMC Project
Got back from Good Guys Columbus a little while ago. Man it was HOT, like 104 with a heat index of 110-112. My truck handled the heat pretty well but it wasn't in traffic very long, maybe 45 mins leaving the show Friday afternoon. Best part of the show was my buddy dropping some coin on parts for his 67 C-10 so he can take it next year. Once again I didn't take a camera so no pics except a couple cell pics of a crazy cool 50 Chevy that was parked outside of the restaurant we ate at Friday night.
