Straight truck! DON"T JUNK THOSE WHEELS!! Those jelly bean mags are getting harder and harder to find, especially in 8 lug. If I had an 8 lug to put them on, I would buy them from you...:c2:

Re: Just Picked Up This Gem
 

Well were in Ca are you . My friend has a set from an 89 burb sitting in his drivway with tires on them even and they are 16" and not 16.5 so tires are cheaper. They are in San Francisco.

Re: Just Picked Up This Gem
 

Im in Ventura county just a few min north of LA. I might be in San Fran on Sat. Were going to tahoe thursady-sat. then might go to san fran and work our way down the coast.
how much does he want for them? got a pic?

Re: Just Picked Up This Gem
 

You can have them..

Re: Just Picked Up This Gem
 

Talk about good timing. huh!

Re: Just Picked Up This Gem
 

Sweet! nice find man :metal:

Re: Just Picked Up This Gem
 

From your pics those mags look to be a nice width. Most of the ones you see in 8 lugs are at least 10 inches wide. A lot of people prefer ones that are a bit narrower.

Also I dig that air con unit...very cool looking. Does it work?

Re: Just Picked Up This Gem
 

the a/c dont work yet, but it will. the pump is sitting on the pass floor board. everything is there.have no idea why its out. maybe it froze. maybe it didnt cool anymore so they just pulled it off.

Re: Just Picked Up This Gem
 

Great find! :metal: The A/C console is really neat - lots of style.:chevy:

Mac.

Re: Just Picked Up This Gem
 

Let us know about the mags your taking off. Are they 16.5 wheels? They look to be 8.25 x 16.5 wheels which are used for 10.00 x 16.5 tires, am I correct?

Re: Just Picked Up This Gem
 

the wheels are 16.5. the tires are 9.50x16.5 and they are 8 luggers

Re: Just Picked Up This Gem
 

what motor is in there?, and where is the second tank located

Re: Just Picked Up This Gem
 

i think its the 292 6 banger. that will change. the 2nd tank is behind the cab in front of the wheel well under the bed driver side. the 3rd tank is in the same position on pass side of truck.
3 tanks aboard that bad boy. for now anyways.

Re: Just Picked Up This Gem
 

Wow! If you filled that truck up with gas it would cost a small fortune. It's a cool option though.

Re: Just Picked Up This Gem
 

prob, i have not put gas in it yet. i have no idea on what size the saddle tanks are. 15-20 gal each?

Re: Just Picked Up This Gem
 

those 292's make good power, and they make alot of after market parts for them. they make alot of torque.

Re: Just Picked Up This Gem
 

that motor will be in it for a while. not sure what I'm gona run in the future, but it will be fuel injected

Re: Just Picked Up This Gem
 

I have those wheels in my truck right now.

Re: Just Picked Up This Gem
 

I'll be there tomorrow afternoon. gona leave here around 9am. i'll call when i leave.

Re: Just Picked Up This Gem
 

ok.. I might be in my bicycle so I might not get to the phone fast enough so just leave a message.

Re: Just Picked Up This Gem
 

We wanna see pictures of the truck with the steel wheels when you get to it. It was cool meeting you and I hope you had a good time in the City where ever you two went.

Re: Just Picked Up This Gem
 

Thanks again for the wheels!!!! I just need to get off my lazy ass and break them down and paint them. Have not decieded what color yet. Orange, Green or Red. Prob gona be red. We didn't stick around San Fran. We headed straight to Santa Cruz and stayed the night and hung out on the boardwalk.

Re: Just Picked Up This Gem
 

Santa Cruz was a good choice.
