Okay, so my truck's in for body/paint. I need to put some rollers on it that won't be bothered by the process. I saw a '60 that had just gotten a new set of wheels/tires, and the old ones were available in the carport. So, $20 later and I have a set of four good 6-hole 15's for my use.

Step two. Get some tires that are capable of the task. Couple calls and I land a set of take-offs for $100, mounted and balanced. Good. Drove by the tire shop. Truck is sitting...two body-shop rollers and two good wheels. Good ones are on the front. Disc brakes on the front. Old wheels won't work with disc brakes. Wasted at least $60, huh?

Bottom line? Five lug discs would have let me have a lot more latitude on wheel choice, but I was stubborn and stayed with the six-lug....to keep the old wheels that would have worked for the body-shop thing, which I had already sold. Dumb.

Gotta go find some 6-hole wheels that will work with my discs....and more money to do it with.

Truck = a hole in the air, surrounded by metal, rubber and glass, into which I continue to pour money.
