With the air ride complete, it was time to rebuild the original wrecker dually wheel wells. They were original to the bed and integral to the build, so we quickly came up with a new way to mount them and lift them up higher to accommodate the lower stance.

With the wheel wells done, it was time to mount up the wheels and tires. Fortunately, I had ordered up some Detroit Mob Steel wheels three months prior, so they arrived in perfect time. I bought 20" x 8 for the fronts and 20 x 12 for the rear. The Delray's came in raw steel and a friend powder coated them satin black for me.

The chrome center caps had the right look but were waaaaay too shiny for this truck. I tossed them around in the rocks, dented and scratched them, then hit 'em with the sandblaster. After that, a combination of white vinegar, hydrogen peroxide and salt and they "aged" quite quickly.

That is pretty much it for now. Next winter, I hope to do the engine compartment and interior, but for now, it is shake-down summer for ODB!
