You white wheel traitor! :hc: Serves you right!

Re: Shawno72's long overdue 68 daily driver build thread
 

I know I know. Now its gonna be tough to back white :banghead: I know what I'll do, I have another set of 5 lug 7s at home. I'll paint those white and swap them out, the fronts will wipe off with brake clean :lol:

Re: Shawno72's long overdue 68 daily driver build thread
 

Lookin' good man. I guess I'm in the minority. I like the black wheels. Especially on light color trucks. I do agree about swapping for eight inchers out back.

I say keep 'em black for a while. It'll grow on you. I didn't like black rims until I saw a few with poverty caps on this site.

Re: Shawno72's long overdue 68 daily driver build thread
 

Im with you. I like the black a lot!

Re: Shawno72's long overdue 68 daily driver build thread
 

Well I already painted my extra set of wheels white, but I will rock the black wheels for a bit and see how they grow. May try some thin rings?

Re: Shawno72's long overdue 68 daily driver build thread
 

You know I think the black wheels look ok! But you should put the thin white walls out!

Re: Shawno72's long overdue 68 daily driver build thread
 

Eventhough I do like Black wheels I liked the white wheels on your truck better, especially with the white paint. Now if your truck was Red I would say it would be no contest for the black wheels.

Decisions, decisions. I think I should leave the black wheels for a few days but I am taking the extra white set with me to work jus in case :lol:

On another note. I need to take this thing down the highway a bit and get the rearend warm and see it the posi popping noise is gone.

Hopefully the next day or two I'll get'er down the road a bit.....In town she is a ton of fun to drive. Love the auto trans :)

Re: Shawno72's long overdue 68 daily driver build thread
 

Well good news the rear end issue is gone. And just to clarify I do indeed have a factory posi in great original shape. :metal:

Sweet bro!

Re: Shawno72's long overdue 68 daily driver build thread
 

3:73 you say ? Prob helped with the 700R ,.. ?

Re: Shawno72's long overdue 68 daily driver build thread
 

Thanks Rus!

No I kept the 3.08 gears, now she rolls at 75 no problem and still gets 20+ miles per gallon :cool:

Re: Shawno72's long overdue 68 daily driver build thread
 

I bet it had the wrong fluid in before you changed the axles. Posi/limited slip diff's need an extra additive added opposed to open diff's which just take standard gear oil.
