Not real heavy.
I had the chrome Budds on that '70 C/30 for that exact reason, period correct. It was the '80s and I still wanted (still do) the '70s vibe. When I was done with that truck I sold it to the guy down the road not far. It sat here for a year or two and I didn't keep up with the chrome, the wheels and the mirrors I had done. That fool tore the truck down and never put it back together, which is his specialty. That was mid '90s. Fast forward and this guy had bought a '71 C/30 wrecker that he put those chrome Budds on. Forward about five more years and I bought that truck. I got my wheels back!
The red paint was faded like your Baja Bug, the truck had a visor from the '70s, GM bedrails, and the aged looking chrome Budds really fit the "Was a nice truck in the '70s" look. The one rear wheel had the chrome really gone. I tried to find another and never had any luck. Nothing new and used I never found.
this was a job close by I took it to for one last time after it had been sitting. Notice the rusty chrome on the mirror and rotted rocker
Same wheels years later. I removed the Kmart mirrors and put small westcoasts on. The kind with yellow chevrons.
