Got the new wheels mounted up - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

cochino12 · 06-30-2009, 08:56 PM

The tires on the stock wheels were pretty dry rotted and I really didnt want them to blow out so I decided to stick these on now. New tires should be here soon so try to look past these being so tall in front. The wheels look better than I thought they would but they are still going to be replaced when I find some I like.

I actually kind like 'em. A little tall, yes. But still look kinda cool.

Adam are you going to add the fenderwell moldings? The truck looks fantastic, looks like it rolled of the factory floor.

Love the color. I know your painter is supposed to re-do the trim placement but, dam, how did he get most of it striaght and a couple pieces like that?

I'm only asking b/c the P/O pulled and filled the trim holes from my '79 and I want to put it back when it's ready for paint so I don't want to make the same mistake. . .

Actually it SHOULD be idiot proof, if you follow the molding from the front fender you cant mess it up. The guy that did mine just figured the molding in front of the rear tire should look like it lined up with the molding behind the tire. After holes were drilled I think he wasnt sure if I would notice?
