My latest parts purchase.
 

Ive had a pair of 15x8 5x5 truck wheels for a few years now. Finally found a set of 4 poverty caps. I’m still looking for 2 more wheels that I may never find. The funny thing is, they are for a truck I haven’t bought yet. Maybe I’m getting ahead of myself. 🤣

Wheels first, I like it! A real GROUND UP restoration:metal:

No. You're right. That's how it works. My '67 GMC project started out as a front clip I bought at a swap meet with a friend's needs in mind. By the time I caught up to him he traded the truck to his son and his son had sold it. I have to admit, I really didn't mind getting stuck with it

Preparation is the key to being successful!

Thank guys. The wife asked what I was buying parts for. I told her decoration for now. ��It’s not an entirely unplanned project. A friend of mine has a 69 C10 swb that we’re working out a deal on. I’m shooting for the “old shop truck” theme on this one. It has some nice patina but some not so nice rust.

Well you know all patina is, is rust with a great marketing campaign. :lol:

dont kid yourself, you got it bad.

Patina is just paint with the letters switched around... and an extra 'a' :lol:

I started my project from a pair of the same rims.If you can't find originals,Wheel Vintiques is making them now.

Do you have any pics of your wheels on the truck? Do the center caps fit well?
