Reumster,

Here is a picture of the 71 with 17" stealths on it. I bought my wheels in NC in Mt. Holley at a place called Wheel Country . I bought them used, but he gave me a 1 year warranty with them because the guy that bought them new didn't keep them but for like 6mn.

I have had a few people at work ask me about them also and even one guy drove up there to talk with him about a set, and a new set is like $1400.00 just for the wheels. I didn't give but $1000.00 for wheels and tires. The tires were new goodyears.

Here is a close up of the wheel and tire combo.

Andy are them just disk simulators? I'm calling a few places today about prices.

[Tynee]

Surely you didn't ruin the heart and soul of that beautiful ride by pony powerin' it?

[Andy4639]

Yes that is what they are. AND NO I didn't change the heartbeat. I just used the best part of a pony that I could and that was the emblem. The motor is a HO-305 TPI, in other words a 5.0

[Tynee]

Ahh, it was just a joke, but I'm still glad to hear it. Upon re-reading, it does sound like I was criticizing. Wasn't my intention, just making conversation out of curiousity. Sorry if I offended.

[Andy4639]

No I didn't take offense to it, I here it at work all the time because I'm such a Chevorlet fan and have mustange emblems on my truck. Have you ever seen the 5.0 stickers that chevy sell. They are about the ugliest things I have ever seen.
You can see part of it in this picture it was no way what I thought it would be at the time I ordered it. On top of that two of them cost me $12.00 and the two 5.0 cost me $8.00

[Reumster]

Andy looks like you need our tail inserts! LOL You just have color bulbs behind the clear lenses don't you?

[Andy4639]

I sure would!!!! I would love to have a set, I just can't afford them right now. I did mine a little different, I installed a red lens underneath the clear lens so it would have a red look to it. I still use the regular bulb though. Here is a picture of it.

It works pretty good and I have had them on for almost a year now and have had the law right behind me and not even a funny look.

[Reumster]

Very creative! I like it when people expermint like that.

[MAC67]

not trying to put down youre truck AT ALL,,,it is a very very very good lookin truck,,but i think you would improve it a hundred times iver if you took that cover off the bed or replaced it with one that sits flush

[Reumster]

A little costructive critizum(sp) never hurt. I agree a painted flush tonnue would help greatly. But I'm sure he uses it for work. Also I think a regular rear bumper would be a nicer touch too. Hidden hitch time Andy!

[Andy4639]

I would like to have a flush bed cover except for one thing! $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ I would also have to redo my gas tank, because it's up inside the bed and the filler neck is right in the drivers side conner of it. Thats why I bought the cover like this is it only opens on the back half. Yes I do agree it would look a whole lot better, but the $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ is the biggest thing.

I'm game to change it if someone wants to donate some $$$$$$$$$$$ or the cover. HAHAHA!!!!


Forgot about the bumper thing. I like the step bumper for the only reason that I can get upinside of the bed when the trash bages roll up front by the tank. I know a regular bumper would look a lot better but!!! $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ That money issue just keeps coming back up, you know!

Andy nice ride, I think I like the 17's the more I see em'!!!!!!!

[Andy4639]

I looked at a bunch of wheels and different sizes before I bought these, I was in the right place at the right time. I drive this truck everyday to work and I travel a lot in my work 2-4 hrs. each way depending on where I have to go. The bigger wheels I have been told are worse in ride, so when I found these I went for them and haven't regraded it.

Thanks for the nice words about them. I think it really makes a big diference in it's over all look.When I had them put on I stood their I know 20 minutes looking at the first one think on if I really like the look, and the installer didn't mind abit. He even went inside and help another customer until I was satisfied.
