So...do you remember "chrome slots"?I kinda wish someone would brim=ng them back.More agressice than smoothies and were as common on muscle cars as all the mags they`ve brought back.They`d be pudy dang cheap,too,compared to other wheels and another way to go for "period correct"...the way to go in my book.

Old school?What`s that?It`s just school to me.

Nice truck, clean truck, but maybe you should take the For Sale sign out of the window and keep it for a little while. I liked the idea of a negative of the black Martinez truck.

VA72C10 · 05-12-2010, 12:05 PM

I like it with the slots.....not normally a fan but they're growing on me...

The only "slots" I remember were the "razor blade" slots that were popular on Toyota 4 x 4's in the 80's. Are those the ones you mean? (probably not

)

Evanz67 · 05-12-2010, 03:49 PM

out of those two choices slots, but i think a set of rallyes would look best painted white.

I can`t find the picture I have of a N.O.S. set I saw at a swap meet.They were chrome steel with kidney bean holes a bit smaller than in the aluminnyumz.There were also primered 8-lug ones sold found mostly on the rear of work trucks.They were cool looking.Cars ran the chrome ones.I know Rocket made them.This was`60s into early`70s like our trucks.

Yea, with chrome rings,and flat police style caps.....hmm I like that idea.

sleepertruck72 · 05-13-2010, 12:31 AM

Keep the slots on the left side, and the white walls on the right side, Just kidding... I think slots are the lucky winners !

OARNGESI · 05-13-2010, 02:40 AM

The whitewalls look best

Being mature is highly overated.....

I may be a gray beard but I prefer staying in touch with the kid in me.

The polished slots by all means over the caps n whites. I had a set of polished ET slots on my first truck in the 70s.
Rene, let's hear a little more about that upcoming truck you hinted at.

**FIREBALL** · 05-15-2010, 11:06 AM

yea, I myself like the ralley's alot too.....

I agree with Boog...on several accounts. Those slots look good on this particular truck. Toooooo much white with the white walls thrown in.

And, I am also of the "gray beard" persuasion. But, like I always say "You can make me grow old, but you can't make me grow up!!"

BP68 · 05-15-2010, 12:24 PM

slots for sure. nice truck you have

OldSkool71 · 05-16-2010, 11:34 AM

The mag wheels or slots as they are often refered to here are money....looking good see you at the show....

Evanz67 · 05-16-2010, 02:30 PM

the rallyes rock man lower it a couple inches and its perfect.

Bennett68C10 · 05-17-2010, 08:09 AM

My vote is for the Slots def looks bad ass with them

my67chevytruck · 05-17-2010, 08:18 AM

Nice truck Rene. I like the looks of the slots over the white walls.

**70cst** · 05-17-2010, 08:27 AM

Your truck looks cool with or with out slots...but...with slots your truck looks really really cool!!!

C/10 King · 05-17-2010, 11:17 PM

Well,it looks like 90% for the slots, so the slots are staying

. Thanks for all the comments.

Could you tell, it was missing a motor? oops

**special-K** · 05-18-2010, 08:29 AM

The kidney beans (that`s what I call them when I`m hungry) look best just tossed on.The white rallyes would look great after a restoration.Something about the "beans" go right with the "as is" look,like it`s just always been that way.I`d like to see wider rallyes and a lower truck so it sits like a car (not slammed),but it either needs fresh paint or an aged look on the wheels as it sits now.If I was running the whitewalls and wheel covers I`d paint the rim red,like the old boys did,for an accent.I plan a set that way for my`67 (with a special secret touch I`ve had planned for about 5 years)
