North of Nashville, but the owner apparently lives in Kentucky somewhere.

Idk the difference really I just know everyone uses the hub pilot wheels

Can't wait to see Darcy come together. If Goldie ever needs a new home, I could take her in for you ;). That is my dream truck, a patina'd lwb 50th.

You're right--I talked to Trevor at TN tire and he schooled me; hub centric is the one to use. It turns out that's what these really are---I got 'em!

Didn't know Dino sold the dually.

Ok....so when are you going to show us some more of Darcy? Is she in pieces and you are holding out? Or really, you have been busy with wifey and the new blessing in the house? I understand that if so....would be cool if you had a meet where everyone lent their expertise and strategically executed disassembly and reassembly....then record it for TV.

I haven't started tearing her down yet but it will take place really soon. I've had a few other projects going on at the shop and I wanted to at least get one done before I start tearing down Darcy!

I found some old 22.5 steel and was thinking about putting them on the ol 84 c30 reg cab and lowered it does anybody know if they'll work or will I have to modify heavily? Thinking of work/shop truck lowered ratrod style something like that with a cummins 4bt

Steel wheels can't be milled down to 22" from 22.5" and it is very dangerous to stretch a 22" low profile tire on a 22.5" rim. I really wanted to go this route too because I like the steel wheels too!

Have you had it done before already? Or have you seen any post where guys have done something similar? I just assumed they made a 22.5 low profile shows how much I know. I've even called shops and they haven't foot a clue what I'm talking about

I've done a lot of research. They guy to talk to is Trevor at Tennessee wheel and tire. He has been talking to a company about making 22" steel wheels but no luck yet.

I have seen some of these myself, I know the hub is different but I'm sure if you wanted to run them you could have your adapters made to match those hubs.

Sorry guys just been collecting parts and planning, nothing picture worthy. I have two other projects I'm working on in the shop right now. A 67 and a 66 both are for customers; plus my construction business is booming! I am slammed with work! I do however hope to have some updates in the next few weeks though.

You can follow the 67 build here!

Rus, you forgot to mention the most important thing.....a newborn at the house. Anybody with kids understands the setbacks and priority changes that occur when your first little one arrives.

Hey Rus, Are you still looking for a bed? I sent you an email.

Rusbuilt 07-17-2013 09:30 PM

Re: She's a ton of fun (dually build on air)
 
I just got your email Todd. Those are pretty nice looking beds but I have one now. I bought one from board member Twangismythang out of Memphis. Chuck and I drove down to get it awhile back. Thanks for thinking about me though!

Great to hear that you found one. Sounds like another good road trip. Keep me informed on what you are looking for and I will keep my eyes out for you.

I have no problems with having others help with my project but I dont want someone to do it for me. I've just had so much going on and I've getting a few other projects out of the shop so I can focus on Darcy.
