Well,
First, thanks for the patience (hmmmmmmm). Finally got the correct nuts and got the wheels on the truck. Pix are a little crude, (old camera) as the wife took my Canon with her to Cal. The bottom pix is with the old rusty wheels.

man i just love how rallys look good on *any* body style. i did the same thing to mine.

lookin good man!

Longhorn Man · 08-02-2007, 10:09 PM

Those aren't rallys, those are just late model wheels

my bad... i always figured that must be what they were, since they look like a newer generation of the 80s rallys.

Texasdeere · 08-02-2007, 10:59 PM

It is amazing the difference a set of wheels can make.

Looks Great!

Took the words right out of my post.....

Longhorn Man · 08-02-2007, 11:19 PM

After re-reading that....
I didn't mean to sound rude.
And most ppl call them rallys, but they are simply the base model wheel on the 88 - 98 3/4 ton /one ton trucks.

Thanks, she's a strong runner and heavy hauler. I really want to make her pretty but then I'd be afraid to use her. Maybe when I get too old to build stuff and haul rocks around, I'll put a party dress on her.

The truck looks great with those on there. Sorry you had to jump through all the hoops to git-r-done though.

I had another complete set of them that were just as nice but they had tires on them so I sold them on the Des Moines CraigsList so they could be picked up. I put them on Fri. night and a guy was here at 1 o'clock Sat and bought them. (Pic attached) Hard to believe that the nephew was on the way to the salvage yard with them when he stopped by the house....

Take care.

If there weren't hoops to jump through, life might get a little boring, doncha think?

I'm real pleased with the way the truck looks now. One of these days I'm going to pull her down and paint her. Panama yellow with pearl white top and lower panels. I'll paint the wheels yellow to match. Probably go with light brown leather interior. All that's gonna take is some serious bucks and a little time.

I second that. That gray color and how a three quarter sits just looks darn good!

beermunk · 08-02-2007, 11:40 PM

Very nice - wanna sell your old ones

Better than the rusty rims I have...

gmman456 · 08-02-2007, 11:52 PM

Were you able to get them as a set (if so where)or did you have to hunt for all the parts?beauty rings, caps, wheels,lug nuts?Looks good!

**SactoJim** · 08-03-2007, 01:03 AM

Nice improvement!

Thanks! Got them from LockDoc, a member of this board. They came complete and in mighty fine shape.

You going to be in Nebraska any time soon? I'd take $40 for the whole set including center caps and lugs. Don't have time to pack and ship 'em.
If you would like, i can take some pix and email them to you.

Actually, I was thinking about blasting and powdercoating the center part of the wheel where the rust is. Time really isn't my friend so they'll probably sit in my shed.

manimal · 08-04-2007, 02:17 PM

That looks GREAT! what size tires are those? Thanks

Crazy14720 · 08-06-2007, 02:29 PM

LockDoc,

I am astounded. My truck is exactly that same color. I have never seen another truck with it. Is it common?

Have you noticed it to chip and scuff easily?

No, it's not common and how dare you paint your truck "MY" color...

..(Just Kidding)

The reason I chose the creamy yellow is because my daughter had a Nova painted that color and I thought it would look good on our trucks...

So far no chip problems but I'll find out for sure when I chop the top.....

Do you have a build thread or more pics of yours on line?

CrashBob: Sorry about the thread hijack....

LUV2XCLR8 · 08-06-2007, 04:46 PM

Sweet wheel and tire combo, hope to have my newer set on by weeks end

**PICKMUP** · 08-06-2007, 11:39 PM

Nice looking wheels and so easy to maintain. Great for a driver. Yah, we all call them ralleys because they come with rings & bowtie center caps...just like other ralleys. I don't know what GM called them, but we call them ralleys.

57sailplane · 08-06-2007, 11:53 PM

man just when i thought i had a color no one else has used. dang @#$##!!!!

57sailplane · 08-06-2007, 11:55 PM
