If you were selling a truck, would you put mags or stock wheels on?

That truck belongs to way2lo2.
It's bagged and nice,... if Boris had his hands on it.
I bet it brings the money eventually.

That being said, I just got off the phone with Paul and he's got a set of stock rims for me, so I'm going to mosy up and get those and just sell all three sets of Turbines that I have. Then when I get back I'm going to swap intake and carbs and detail the compartments and get the 2/4 drop put on it. If I can't sell it, I'll put the Muncie and A/C in and add dropped spindles, discs and drop the back end a couple of more inches. I'm not opposed to keeping it, I just hate the thought of moving and having four vehicles to bring.....

hear that.. good luck

Here's what I have right now for it.
New Sanderson ceramic coated headers
New 2/4 drop springs.
New Performer intake and carb and dress up items.
15 Turbine American Racing wheels.
New aftermarket seat cover.
Nice black door panels and visors and armrests from a seller here on the board
Muncie M20


figure the detailing of the engine and swapping VC and intake and carb is a no brainer, everyone likes a nice looking engine. The thing has to have new tires because the ones on it were borrowed from the sellers friend. Should I just get a set of stock wheels and caps and put new BFGs on there, or put them on the Turbine wheels? If I could have found a set of good used tires I would go that route, but evidently 15s are starting to become scarce. So there isn't anyway to save money there. That leads me to the 4 speed, it already has a granny low 4 gear, so it would just be a matter of getting one of those 55-57 bench seat shifters and throwing it in. The Muncie wasn't cheap and would hate to put it in if I was just going to lose money on it. Would the granny low be that much of a turn off to truck buyers? Whaddya guys think? Opinions please. Here's a pic of how she sits now, along with a pic of the style of wheels I was talking about.

OG....Use the stock 15" wheels and caps.
Those Turbine wheels, remind me of someone saying..."Well I wanted some Torque Thrust II Wheels, but THESE were all I could afford".
Those things make ANY VEHICLE..."FUGLY"!!!

(yea just my .02 cents worth, but I'm partial.....)

Not trying to hijack-just answering a question and maybe inspire the OP!


Ask and ye shall receive, laplander!..

"....... in the rear a CPP C notch was installed along with airbags all the way around with are controlled from inside the truck. Only quality parts from Firestone, Airlift, and Viair were used. The lower control arms were stepped 1.5" inches and narrowed a 1/2". 4 new shocks were installed as well. The brakes were next, all the wheels cylinders, brake hoses, brake shoes and master cylinder were replaced.and now work excellent"
No mention of tire size but did state that he had replaced. Original rims that he blasted and painted.

The guy is freezer burn compared to cool.
