Looks good...but with those wheels, you may need to change the title of your build thread!

What are the specs?

[CC69Rat]

Thank you, the title is intended to be ironic they are Intro "vintage" 22x10s, 4" of bs, 5x5 lug pattern. I'm very pleased with how they look

Thank you. I was definitely going for that style but I wanted something just a little different. And cheaper then billet specialties. The centers are brushed actually. I'll get better pictures when I'm home this weekend

Nice wheels, looking forward to seeing them on the truck.

Sweet wheels! I bet you're glad they finally made it!

Yep, gotta be sarcasm. And he also said (at one point) daily driver I've seen it in person. This thing is gonna be MINT! Powder coated, polished and ready to rumble. I guess I should've strolled through your neighborhood this afternoon looking for uncollected FedEx packages. haha These are one of my favorite Intro wheels. I love this look.
Come to think of it... I hate them. I'd sell them cheap to a local enthusiast in need of a set of good looking 5x5 rims for his Blazer project and start over.


I sure hope you aren't using student loan money to fund this project

Thank you, you have no idea. 11 weeks for two wheels, the suspense was killing me. I must have called Intro ten times before they got here. I'm just dreading ordering the fronts now

Thanks Jeff. Yea the wheels are definitely fancy considering the rest of the truck but I got a ton of hookups that have made my truck nicer then I ever expected it to be so I felt like I owed her something nice, something other then Coys or rallies. And most of my school is paid for in grants but I work basically a full time job up at school to pay for my bills so I have money to work on this girl. I wish my parents would just pay for everything for me but that's not how life works

Really nice looking wheels, I couldn't imagine waiting 11 weeks for them. I could barely last the 3 1/2 weeks it took to get my Billet Specialties in

Thanks for the kind words Keith. Yea they were the worst 11 weeks of my life, I am very impatient. But Intro was great to work with, they gave me free shipping cause they felt bad for making me wait so long.

Nice, it worked out then. Can't wait to see them mounted on the truck.

Thanks Mike, they would look killer on Square Peg. I would suggest ordering them pronto if you plan on making it to Sema tho cause it took them 11 weeks to make two wheels for me. They said there is a ton of outsourcing with brushed wheels.

Thanks for all the kind words everyone. I couldn't be happier with how everything is turning out on this truck. I have taken quite a few shots in the dark from a design standpoint, the wheels being one of those shots. I don't have big money for design software so I have to use my imagination to see how things would look and I couldn't be happier. Thanks again everyone

Yeah, feel lucky. My friend ordered 6 pistons for his new pulling engine from Mahle last year at this time. He did not get them until July, and the guy he had doing the machine work never told him Mahle didn't cut valve reliefs. These pistons were coated already and Mahle also got the piston height wrong so he had to buy another special head gasket. He had to send the pistons out and get them fly cut, and after he got the engine together, he made about 8 passes and messed with the timing and melted these pistons. Talk about a bad deal. Anyway, back to your build.

Thank you. I got the glovebox decal from Jerry Brown @ The Truck Shop in Tennessee. I bought the entire aluminum plate with the decal already on it. And by the door latches do you mean the striker plates or the latch assembly that goes in the door itself?

Thank you. That should be about aired out, I wish that was ride height

The striker plates are zinc coated, they come like that when you buy reproduction ones. The door latches are the original ones that came on the truck but I got the nickel plated.
