Re: my 82 pics
 

looks like you already have a redneck rear lowering kit in it. LOL refigerators work good too! looks like a great start for a build. bodys straight and looks like its complete, thats always a plus. Are ya hiding the hood somewhere?

Re: my 82 pics
 

I'd drive it. :) I wish i had started with one like that. I paid a premium price for a clean, running truck, then spent a lot of money replacing everything anyway.

Hope it helps.

Re: my 82 pics
 

you might also want to check out steet star's. they kinda look like that but i like them a little better.. not sure on the price though

Re: my 82 pics
 

k thanks for the info i seen street stars on the net some wheres. who knows im not to the rims yet i might find some others i like.

Re: my 82 pics
 

ok the wheels on that black truck ARE street stars...... and the tires on that black truck are 295-50-15's so they are actually wider then the size you posted up. just giving some clearification on that black truck.

however they dont make them in a 5x5 lug pattern anymore.

and those on Jeg's only come in a 5x4.5 and 5x4.75, NO 5x5.

and weld doesn't make the Prostar's in a 5x5 either so.......look around used and ebay. i found a set of the street stars used i'm going to be getting soon.

Re: my 82 pics
 

i didnt know they where street stars on black truck.. they look differnt to me then the ones on the white truck twords the bottom of the page.. either way

Re: my 82 pics
 

I am a bit consused on exactly which wheel you want, but ARE does not make the Street Star. Cragar makes the Street Star wheel

Re: my 82 pics
 

im kind if intrested in the street stars and in the second link just the Tires

Re: my 82 pics
 

they "are" cragar street stars.......not the brand ARE, i was putting that as in that the cragar street stars is what is on the truck.....re-read it again.

and yes they are cragar street stars......cragar center caps, part number the whole nine yards.

you will have to find them used or on ebay, they no longer make them in the a 5x5 lug pattern.

gotcha on the tires. i'm getting my tires next week from discount tire. i'm going with a 295-50-15. i have a set on my truck now, you should come by and check em out and see if you like the width on em.

Re: my 82 pics
 

yeah ill have to come by im thinking a Belltech Sport Trucks Shackle & Hanger Kit 4 inch drop in the rear.

cause its higer in the rear

and some wide tires soon as i get the money thats owed to me ill order some parts an finish the engine

Re: my 82 pics
 

If you're talking about my truck (the second one) on that link. Then, to clarify (mostly for you 85SBC400, because I assume the ones you're talking about getting are those off of that truck). They are Cragar Street Stars and the tires are 275/60/15. The wheels on the white flamed truck are prostars, and I can't speak for the first black truck, but I think they are street stars also. Cragar Street Stars are no longer available from Summit in a 5x5.

Re: my 82 pics
 

im also look for some leds lights for the fenders. or some sort of conversion kit. i think that whould look Sweet!!

since its an 82 an has the blinkers in the front bumper id liek to put some LEDs there too

Re: my 82 pics
 

ok guys.....lets simplify a little......lol i think we all reading to much into this.....lol

the black truck i posted - cragar street stars
jdurants black truck - cragar street stars
the flamed white truck - cragar street stars

there we go. lol

Re: my 82 pics
 

thats a sharp lookin yellow truck jd

Re: my 82 pics
 

and i was talking about the black truck that sbc posted in that link i did

Re: my 82 pics
 

its all good....they are all the same wheel lol.

Re: my 82 pics
 

Didn't Weld used to make them? or do they still?

Re: my 82 pics
 

weld makes the Prostars, yes they still make them, but not in a 5x5 lug pattern.

Re: my 82 pics
 

Wow that truck don't look too bad at all to start with.

Re: my 82 pics
 

thanks hoods thank you all for the comments on the truck. i aperciate it alot
now if i can get that monster 400sb going and keeping it cool.
and not heating up and melting ill be ok lol.
even if it does that just means ill be able to build my 383 sooner lol

now the color i think i found is going to be a mineral gray or a darker gray even. with blue flake or metallic not to sure yet.

Re: my 82 pics
 

Yeah, a 5 on 5 pattern is hard to get what you want at a reasonable price. unless your willing to pay big bucks for rims. Thats why so many people run the Coys they look good and are priced right, and there are a variety of sizes in a 5 on 5 pattern.

Re: my 82 pics
 

what do coys look like???

Re: my 82 pics
 

Heres a link www.coyswheel.com

Re: my 82 pics
 

I could of got some 17 coys for the same price as my cragar street stars, but the tires would of been lot more

Re: my 82 pics
 

didnt know coys was from utah, i could save alot on shipping...

Re: my 82 pics
 

so should i go with a surpentene belt system or the old style with multi belts?

im thikin about trying to get this going now i moved got a better job but no place to work on it. only when i go home an thats about once a month ive got the money but no place heh

dunno have even thought about sellin it but i dont know

Re: my 82 pics
 

someone once gave me the idea to put a 6.0l vortech in this ride

well i strated looking around an seen some videos on u-tube of stroked 408

apparetnly they are 6.0s with a kit an bored out it looked pretty mean looks like something i whould like

Re: my 82 pics
 

summit has their own brand street star wheel now.
