Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)

[menace121978]

thanks to you ive lost sleep, pulled out my hair, and stressed over those damn 225's ever since i seen them on your truck!!


as for the tires i have those on my goat and i love them... they are noisey! but the performance makes up for it on the car anyways. i'll have to look into the toyo's. and the covers are the stock 3 piece fuel rail covers on the 6.0 ho motors. im getting them smoothed and painted body color. should set it off real nice and hide all the wiring and stuff.

thanks for the compliments... i sure hope they go with the older body lines and trim. been going back and forth between the coys. cant stop comparing the 2!

I have the Toyo's going on the Bull. I have had them on several vehicle before, and have thoroughly enjoyed them...quiet, great wet & dry weather performance, and they last. Just my .02

the 2nd is i got the eagle 225's today!! Billy and i went on a mission down to central california and picked them up! got a screaming deal on them too! tomorrow after work i'm going to get tires mounted and balanced.

[menace121978]

for anyone intrested they fit perfectly over the HD rotors and dust cap...

and the pics dont do these wheels justice. they are beautiful and awesome quality for the money

[menace121978]

[mcbassin]

great progress! sweet wheels!

[nlped]

Sweet! I thought you were going to stick with the Mag wheels at least for a while. I like those too though .

And, it's about time we had an update

[54Caddy]

Where did you go pick the rims up? hope not close to me could of saved you the gas and took them to you friday on my way back up there.

[JohnC]

AWESOME!!!!! That's great man! Glad to see it coming together.

Those wheels look sick man! I can't wait to see them mounted and with the truck finished!

[silvereagle07]

Those wheels look good Dennis! The cab is looking good too. How much did you get the wheels for if you don't mind me asking? I'm looking a set for my dad's truck.

the wheels were $1150 out the door with valve stems, lugnuts, and tax. i got them through cltireandwheel.com great place to deal with.

i did find out today that the toyo 295/40's are on back order so i'm searching for someone to have them in stock. might have to wait a bit anyways... i think i killed the money tree. over prunning the last couple days.

[joe231]

[54Caddy]

Great looking wheels. Nice choice. Glad they fit over the big hubs.

I hope they keep it around that price.

[menace121978]
