Re: Project: Shiro
Got the new wheels and tires mounted up today... Pics are washed out a bit, I'll try and get better ones tomorrow. I think the narrowed a-arms are going to do well with these wheels.

Re: Project: Shiro
Thanks guys!!

I am going to widen the rear wheel tubs a little, doing some research on that now. I like the semi-tucked position of the wheel in the wheel well, just need some more room on the inside. Using narrowed a-arms up front will align the front and rear track and give the ruck an awesome look.

Re: Project: Shiro
Do those wheel centers have a slick feel to them or a rough texture like my gray Daytonas?

It has a rough or machined texture to it.

Black wheels are smoother then the gray , less texture.

Re: Project: Shiro
Ah, I understand the question better now. Yes the part that is powder coated black is smooth. The bare aluminum part has a machined finish to it.

I'm not sure about these years of trucks, but I remember reading years ago that for a V-6 or V-8 Vega conversion, you could swap a resistor on the back of a stock tach to do the 4/6/8 conversion. GM has a lot of standardization, so maybe the same rule applies, but I'm not positive.

Maybe a moot point depending on how tempted you are to put in that LS. ;-)

It would have been cool if everything work like it was supposed to, but that is more about how the truck was advertised when I bought it. At this point it is a moot point as I will be using a Classic Instruments cluster when I swap in the LS.

Thanks Keith, the truck is a bit of a beater but we are collecting up some killer parts. I am excited to get started, just have to get this house ready to sell first.
