**SOON2BLAZE** · 04-09-2011, 10:51 AM

nice hub caps!!! How did you get the dents out? Hammer and dolly?

**thelonerife** · 04-10-2011, 12:03 AM

I actually used a plastic handle form a jar opener that fit in the gaps perfectly. I tapped gently until they came right out.

**thelonerife** · 04-10-2011, 10:42 PM

I got my wheels sanded and painted. Now to get the truck up on jack stands and take the ralleys to get the rubbers off and on my white rims.

oldblue1968chevy · 04-10-2011, 11:23 PM

Those wheels look great! What is your method/secret? Gonna run caps too I assume

Where did you get your wheels?

**thelonerife** · 04-11-2011, 12:25 AM

I got the 2 6'' at pull a part and the 8'' from a board member here. I bought four of 8'' and decided to do 6'' on the front. Sold the two other 8'' and tried to sell these but nobody would send the $. So I decided to use them and sell the rallies. I'm going to run my GMC hubcaps I got from Tim. I'm going for a plain jane look. I may paint my grille that I have for mockup and run it with chrome bezels and bumper. I have to see what that will look like first though. I think most trucks that were plain had white bumpers and grilles and bezels too.

**thelonerife** · 04-12-2011, 08:46 PM

Got the rubber on. Cost 80 something dollars at Wally world Whew! I like the way they turned out though. Thats all that matters I guess.

VA72C10 · 04-12-2011, 08:48 PM

Looks fantastic!

**thelonerife** · 04-12-2011, 08:49 PM

6772owner · 04-12-2011, 10:02 PM

That looks great, killer job!

mcbassin · 04-12-2011, 10:52 PM

The new wheels and caps look great! Totally different.

Zoomin · 04-12-2011, 10:54 PM

Those really turned out nice!

**thelonerife** · 04-12-2011, 11:14 PM

Thanks guys!

**67cheby** · 04-13-2011, 09:24 AM

If you would have told me 10 yrs ago that you were going to run stock steel wheels and hubcaps i would have laughed.......my how time change...looks killer

JasonBird · 04-13-2011, 12:13 PM

very nice! love the hubcaps!

**JJanzen** · 04-13-2011, 06:10 PM

Love where you're going with this.....keep up the great work!

nds1968 · 04-13-2011, 08:46 PM

The truck is coming along and looks great

What tire sizes are you running?

**thelonerife** · 04-13-2011, 08:50 PM

Thanks guys!

215/75s in front. 255/70s on the back.

**thelonerife** · 04-18-2011, 08:47 PM

I just sent payment to a board member for a Power steering pump and brackets for my big block. So I have almost all of that bb stuff. When I rebuild the 454 I'll buy an aftermarket intake and carb. The way gas prices are I may stick with my 350 though for now.

**thelonerife** · 04-24-2011, 07:49 PM

I got the big block PS pump and brackets in the mail yesterday. The seller included a new pump with it that will need a canister pressed onto it. The pulley on the pump w/ the canister was bent pretty good. I figure the usps people dropped it. I'll find another one when I get the motor rebuilt and need one.

**DPowers** · 04-24-2011, 09:30 PM

Looking good Chuck

**thelonerife** · 04-26-2011, 11:48 PM

thanks Dewayne

Southern C10 · 04-27-2011, 07:57 PM

Chuck,

Looks great!! Your garage looks a lot cleaner than the last time I saw it too.

I am still waiting on Brothers to send me the tailgate parts kit so I can finish the bed on mine. Of course I will have to dig it out of all the boxes and stuff in the garage left over from the move first.

Keep up the good work. Hope I can get back to Clarksville soon. Maybe i'll wait till all the storms pass!
