Thanks, Rob!

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 

Next is new wheels. My truck is on jackstands at an undisclosed holding facility in Nashville. I sold the wheel and tires, and didn't have any to put on it. Way to plan it out!!

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 

I like steel wheels, something in a 17" or 18", might go as big as 20" in the right wheel. I will spend a few days lookin', and would LOVE some input!

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 

How about the black mobsteel wheels? 18/20's?

caps look awesome!

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 

The wheel and tire choice I like best would look a lot like this, but with the centers i have. This truck is one of the ones that made me want to go air ride.

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 

I really like that truck!

Always room for more! We will be looking forward to meeting you!

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 

Definitely room for more! You already like the right kind of music. Look at the posters on my shop wall sometime, lol.

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 

The more the merrier!

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 

Ordered some wheels! I know, Rus, I was gonna wait a few days, but I spent a couple hours last night, and a couple more this afternoon researching and looking at pics. I love these steel wheels, and I think they are a great alternative. Everyone is running Boss 338s, or tuck ralleys (ok, I know not EVERYONE, but LOTS of ones). I wanted something different. One thing I love about steelies is that you can always change the cap or the color, add or remove a trim ring, and -bang- you've given your ride a whole different attitude!

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 

Lets see whats coming!

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 

I looked at all types of wheels, and didn't use price as an option on initial search. There were some styles that I liked, but that wouldn't fit my truck. I am ok with a little trimming, but for this particular project, I decided that some just don't fit!

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 

There were others I liked, but didn't want to mortgage my house for, lol

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 

Then there were others......

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 

I figured out that I already had the wheel I wanted, just in the wrong size. I ordered the Cragar Soft 8 in silver again, but this time I got a 17x8. I am soooo excited to see them on, and I'm gonna run a liitle bit shorter tire so I can crush them Dew cans a lil more so Chuck's trash doesn't have to be taken out as often, lol. I couldn't find too many pics of these on a 69 C10, so I found these others to give an idea. BTW, ain't that Chevelle nasty?

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 

I knew you would, my brother:metal:

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 

I wonder if that Chevelle has a green motor? It would be your trucks cousin. I'm goin to get the first wheel in your post #818

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 

I like those Bonneville style wheels. Have you found a measurement of the center bore on those?

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 

I really like those!! They will look good on your truck!




Matt I knew thats what you were gonna do, lol I just wanted you to be sure you would be happy with them! It looks like you def explored your options! :lol:

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 

Rus, I laughed last night, thinking that you probably knew. It was fun, though to look and decide with no other motivation than to find what I liked best! The advice you gave was right on the money!

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 

Those look like my rims...lol

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 

I ain't afraid to jump on out and buy some tires! 235/55/17, just like the green truck. 2 inches shorter than my old ones, and slightly (little over 1/2") more narrow. $368 from ebay, $45 to have them mounted with new stems on my new wheel, and balanced with sticky weights! Saved $75 by buying online!

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 

Sweet!!!!!! I like em!

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 

Gonna look nice

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 

Thanks, fellas!

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 

Man I really like the way they look on the Caprice with the truck caps.

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 

Me, too. I ordered the silver wheels, but some day I might change the color. I also found some 17" trim rings, and I'm kinda curious what they would look like on there.

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 

got a present today!

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 

Sweet Matt, I assume 17's?

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 

yes, Bryan. Also, ended up going with the black wheels ( apparently the silvers are special order, and were 3-4 weeks out, which isn't what the website said when I ordered them). I think they will look cool when the truck is all black, and will actually work better with my future plans for the truck. I don't know why I didn't order them to start with, but I'm on the right track now. The wheels should be here Friday!

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 

Awesome, looking forward to a picture on Saturday ;)
