Re: Project: Mistress
I have to agree....I think those wheels look good in 18-20" with a 4.5/6 or larger drop. But with your drop I really like the rally wheels. They just fit your truck!

Re: Project: Mistress
Just got throught the whole build. Wow! you sure took this one a long way. I really like th rally wheels on there. Just looks right. Sorry to hear about all the drama with the paint guy. I found out the hard way a long time ago how frustrating it is to wait on someone else to work on your truck. Looks like you have enjoyed the truck since "completion".

Re: Project: Mistress
You know I can't figure out if it's the VC gasket or the darn rear main seal!!!...One of those might as well's that I overlooked during the build up that I'm starting to really kick my self about....ugh!!!

By the way what rims and tires (sizes) are those? I'm thinking of doing a 2/4 drop on mine eventually and those wheels look perfect!!

*Small Update*...I've had a POSI carrier out of a 71 truck sitting in my garage for about a year and finally found someone help me rebuild and install.....
Frankie Flanagan, old drag race guy, lives 5 miles down the road from me...got his name from a guy who knew a guy!!! ![]() ![]() Took the Mistress over to him last night....he had already rebuilt the carrier- new clutches/ bearings.....He started on the final install first thing this morning....new axle and pinion bearings and seals, pull the open carrier out, put rebuilt posi in, added lube and gear oil....and.... ![]() ![]() ![]()
