I like the beef. it's hard to find an LT all season in the bigger/wider sizes like that. I do the same. On my '71 camper truck I had Dunlop Radial Rover APs, but they stopped making them. I had 9.50s on front with 12.50s on the rear, looked like car tread

Re: Whose on Steelies? Post 'em up!
 

9.5 up front would be hot rod cool with 12.5 on the back. I would like to see a picture of that one. Is it on here anywere? I tried 10.5 up front with 12.5 rear that have from my old 81 c/10 just for Saturday afternoon entertainment.

SWEET ! .

SWAR , I like the skirted bed you have there.....

My '69 is still in the paint jail although it's beginning to look oh so purty :chevy: .

It came to me with a lacquered Oak bed but I gave in and bought a full Southern Hard Pine bed wood kit for it from Mar-Co , it arrived a few days early , I'll prolly run it down there this week if the rain holds off .

He's having conniption fits because I'm going to work it (my SHOP TRUCK , duh ) , so I told him I want to thin some black paint and slurp it on all sides of the wood before it's assembled to the bed .

He yells " all that $$ and you want it PAINTED BLACK ?!?! " .

Why yes , of course ~ that way it'll last another 42 years and still look good.... :lol: .

He went ballistic when I showed him where to weld the rope hooks onto my previously *perfect* original bed and tail gate ~ gotta have rope hooks to properly tarp down loads , right ? .

I even found the original 6 cylinder factory tachometer a fellow Trucker here sold me a while back ~ I'm rebuilding the entire gauge cluster , adding a factory vacuum gauge , removed my old period correct " Motor Minder " vacuum gauge ~ it'll go into another of my old junkers , vacuum gauges are very useful if you know who to read them .

Thanks man!

Re: Whose on Steelies? Post 'em up!
 

It had aluminum slots. I had a set of same size steelies powder coated and waiting for tires but never did that:

Steelies aren't factory but..

I hope this comment is within board protocol (as I'm not posting this for sale here), but look for it in 67-72 classified section. And......I needed to get past my 399th post!

Here's my new look.
15s with whitewalls and '55 Chevy caps.

Re: Whose on Steelies? Post 'em up!
 

I'm new to the C-10, so I have no clue what these wheels are. I gotta crawl up underneath and find out if they'll clear OEM discs up front...

van rallies powder coated white with full wheel covers. 235/75/15's all four corners. I wish someone re-popped the center caps of the wheel covers. Mine are pitted pretty bad

Re: Whose on Steelies? Post 'em up!
 

Love the whitewall tires. Can I get the details on them? Brand and source?

Thanks!

My latest ride, this is pretty much how I found her, and the way she sits today.
Can't wait to get started on what ails her.

cooper trendsetters, I picked them up at a local tire shop at fleet pricing. I think I paid 350 for all 4 mounted and balanced

Re: Whose on Steelies? Post 'em up!
 

I saw 4 brand new ones on the counter at bills truck shop here in Ontario not more than a few weeks ago. Not sure if they were nos or repop. They were Gmc but he might be able to get you some ones with the bowtie. He did mention you have to be careful getting the old little bolts out they break real easy apperently

Re: Whose on Steelies? Post 'em up!
 

*VERY* Nice ! .

It looks like original paint .

They're only original once , too bad GM was so slack about corrosion protection else there would be scads of nice '67 ~ '72 rigs out there instead of crispy rust buckets :me2:

Re: Whose on Steelies? Post 'em up!
 

Thanks for the heads up I will try to get in touch with them

Re: Whose on Steelies? Post 'em up!
 

My 72.

Re: Whose on Steelies? Post 'em up!
 

this truck has the it factor..

Re: Whose on Steelies? Post 'em up!
 

Thanks! I must say I've been following project Roxy, one of my favorites

Re: Whose on Steelies? Post 'em up!
 

FYI--good call on the 'van' rallies. I had full wheel covers on 8" pickup rallies and the caps were really out there, especially with the 75 series tires. They were narrow, the wheels were wide, and the caps were poking out way past the tires.

Re: Whose on Steelies? Post 'em up!
 

She is original, and will stay this way for awhile.. Still have to buff out the gate & hatch. I'm also going to try my hand at some dent-less paint repair especially on the passenger door and front fender.

".....She is original, and will stay this way for awhile.. Still have to buff out the gate & hatch. I'm also going to try my hand at some dent-less paint repair especially on the passenger door and front fender."

I think I would find a paintless dent repair guy that does it for the dealerships. They have some special tools that make it almost unnoticeable on the newer cars with thin metal. On an old truck I doubt that even they can make it perfect partly because the metal is heavier and harder to work. And they are usually working with door ding type dents that don't stretch the metal as much as bigger dents.
