That looks great!

Where can you buy a wheel like that?

Thanks Patrik, I have owned the truck for a couple years and I have been trying to change over to the rally's since i brought it. When I purchased the truck it had a set of 17 X 8 Helo's with 285's, now rally's with 33 X 10.50 BFG's.

Yes they are rally's & no I did not narrow frame. I made the back wheels from 15 x 15 blanks from speedway & the centers from a set donor rally wheels. New wheel blanks have no provisions for trim rings, so I made up a set of fake bead locks, welded them to rims so I could mount mirrored SST trim rings to. Rear end is a Dana 60 I narrowed & then hung with my own triangulated 4 link & coil overs.

Coming down to the final wire. Bleeding the brakes, picking up the drive shaft tomorrow, sending to the exhaust shop early next week and test fitting the 20" wheels. Should be on the streets of Colorado within the next few weeks, just in time for summer. :)

I haven't posted in a while, but I've been doing a lot with the old 67 over the past month. Finally got my carpet, kickpanels, seat recovered, new seat belts, new chrome/black dash bezel, new glove box emblem, new dome/interior light, dash pad, pedals with the chrome outlines, and painted the interior too! Today I took her in and had the guys at the shop replace anything suspension related under the front end and got the idler arm, lower ball joint, and front shocks replaced. Finished up with an alignment after that and I'm out for a while again! Can't wait to get some pics up of the before and after and get started on the exhaust and then the paint and exterior.

Made this out of stuff from around the house.

After working on it for three days, I din't like the "wood look" in the cab. Too much for me. Too much for this driver.

So, I painted the front panel and carpeted the sides with some kick-panel carpet I had left over.

The nav system I put in with P-Shop. The real system is coming on Saturday.

Drove it in to work tonight for the first time in over a month. Truck has been sitting in the garage since I got home from Myrtle beach car show with the dash out of it to send the gas gauge off to be fixed.
Got it back together today before coming to work. It all worked and the gas gauge seems to be working fine. I gave it a quick bath and took these with my Iphone.
