I havent been on here in a while. I have moved to San Antonio, Tx. I did pick up 78 stepper and built a 402 for it. I know I need to take some better pics. This one is from my cell phone. The spark plug has since been removed from the rad. lol it came with the truck.

I would love a set of those old slots. I had a set on my 76 Monte Carlo with 295-50-15. It set just right.

Yes, but I don't know if you can still buy them. I tried to find a set a couple years ago. That was my fav wheel in the 80's.
