What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II - Page 188 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Finally found a local set of 15x8, 6-Lug steelies.

They came off a Blazer with 30k original miles.

I'm really on the fence about what color to paint/powdercoat for my black swb. I was thinking an argent silver (or something similar, semi-gloss) and the stock 1970 chrome hubcaps with blue bow tie, no beauty rings.

Hopefully the picture will attach:

I'm trying to figure out the same thing...black SWB - what color for the wheels - same setup you are talking about.

Thanks Ned!

I got very lucky, so much timing involved with buying quality parts for these trucks. I looked multiple times a week, the past year or so and these were literally the second set I've seen. Let alone in near perfect factory condition and a great deal.

I've done countless searches and haven't seen this exact setup. I'm wanting to keep the truck factory-ish looking inside/out with the LS3/Porterbuilt treatment underneath.

Deductive reasoning helped, my three options are white, black or silver. White is too much for me against the black paint, black wouldn't have any contrast from body to tire to wheel, so that leaves silver. Just have to figure out what exact silver/finish.

mild68 · 12-02-2016, 07:18 PM

Found a 6.0L and a 4L80e online. Picked it up the other night.

Surprised to see six converter bolts

Cleaned up fairly well for now.

Follow a Gray c10 to a morning cruise in.

Never could pass him.

rsgt · 12-03-2016, 09:34 PM

I installed this headlight warning buzzer kit so I wont forget and leave my headlights on.

mud.man.rj · 12-04-2016, 07:09 PM

Is that hd light warning old stock or do they still make them, I worked for an AC delco dealer years ago and installed same kit 1st time about 30 years ago in my 71 Gmc 3/4 ton.

SLDPULR · 12-05-2016, 07:23 PM

I test fit the headers, installed the water pump, and put the carb and air cleaner on just to see what it looked like. As soon as the torque converter for the Th350c gets here the motor is going in ole blue.

Very cool, guess it is a non-smoking cabin

matthamby · 12-07-2016, 12:14 PM

you are correct! my plans are to eventually remove the ash tray also - basically all of the items that are recessed into the dash will be filled, this will allow for installation of some components I want in my dash and they won't look like they were just Jerry-rigged in there.

colgad · 12-07-2016, 01:15 PM

Just got my 6.0 swap running and driving! Took a little longer than I planned but you run into stuff like the hose sizes to the radiator I used an 1.5 to 1.25 adapter with steam connector from Stealth Conversions and PS hose compatibility was a small issue too but it all works out. So nice just to turn the key and it runs instantly.

Wow ,that looks nice .
