Put Some New Shoes on The '69 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

sierragrande71 · 03-24-2009, 05:44 PM

I got tired of seeing my '69 with the same old ratty-looking truck rallys. So I mounted some torque-thrust wheels, now I'm sure most people think these wheels are played-out but I like them. So here are some pics, enjoy!

Our trucks are ICONS in the world of trucks and TT will always be one of the ICONS of wheels....looks that will never grow old...so it is a match made in heaven! Nice tuck and nice wheels!

sierragrande71 · 03-24-2009, 06:07 PM

Man, those Grey centered TT's look right at home against the white of the truck. It's got me droolin'

Sweet truck, the wheels look great.

stevewhitmore · 03-24-2009, 08:28 PM

I think they look great. Are they 6 lug, if so where did you get them and what is the backspacing ?
