Pictures were taken on the road that goes by my house.

Also, i am looking at getting new rims for it so any suggestions would be appreciated. looking for more street rims not 4x4 rims.
Thanks,
Logan

Depends on the look your going for. Nice set of polished mags would look great. So would a set of white steelies with small caps.

69Beauty · 06-02-2011, 11:02 PM

I would like to get some aluminum slot mags but no one makes them for 6 lug which is what mine is. if you had an example of polished mags i would appreciate it.
Thanks,
Logan

**too much stuff** · 06-02-2011, 11:06 PM

Nice looking truck. You can find 6 lug slots out there, but they can be spendy...
What part of dakota are you in?

**jocko** · 06-02-2011, 11:09 PM

i vote steelies painted to match eithe rthe green or the white with small dia pov caps! Don't seem to see many of those on the 67-72's any more, or at least not as many as there used to be. Seems every one has rallies (and I like them too, but I'm just sayin...) Nice truck you have there.

69Beauty · 06-02-2011, 11:13 PM

Too much stuff i am North of Minot (which is flooding) about 30 miles around the town of lansford.
Thank you Jocko!

**too much stuff** · 06-02-2011, 11:19 PM

Here is a shot of 6 lug slots on my 69. Not the best pic, but what i had...
Just wondering on your location as i hunt from harvey to anamoose and north.

69Beauty · 06-02-2011, 11:26 PM

I am about 100 miles northwest of Anamoose. I am thinking more about the white spokes now that i look at some pictures. thinking 15x8 up front with 15x10 out back.

mightymouse · 06-03-2011, 08:31 PM

missed a spot........oh wait thats my computer .haha looks great wished mine would clean-up like that,,

99-LS1-SS · 06-03-2011, 08:36 PM

Looks good. Mine used to be that color. It will again one day. I'm going with white front and rear bumpers. The only exterior change (besides lowering it) that I'm doing is I'm painting the rally rims black.

vectorit · 06-03-2011, 09:40 PM

I'm one of those guys that prefers stock.
So, to me I would put the stock steel wheels and hubcaps back on!

That looks like a well loved ol' truck, and from the looks of the plates you're family has been in the area for more than a day or so eh?

oldblue1968chevy · 06-03-2011, 09:56 PM

that thing begs for white steelies and caps!

Can get steelies no problem but where to find caps? Also by steelies to you mean wagon wheels or just straight steel hubcaps wheels?

Here's an EBay auction for a set right here:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1973-...Q5fAccessories
Check EBay every day...they're out there. The most important part is to find a set with as little or no dents as possible. They're very easy to refinish and repaint. I got lucky and found my set for $85, and with a little elbow grease, they look like a new set of caps.
