New wheels: Finally!! Much better now *pics*
Well, I finally broke down and ordered some new rims for the 71 C20. I bought them from www.wheelsforless.com. Great service and great prices.
Anyways, they are 16 x 8 with 4.5 BS and fit great. $98 each, to my door, free shipping and the center caps, valve stems and lug nuts all included (and with 8 lug wheels, that's a bunch of lug nuts). Here it is before: ![]() . . . . .. And here it is after: ![]() ![]() Totally changes the look of the truck, for the better, I think! Tim

They are functional so I can't get rid of them. I have removed the cab tank so I run off the two aux tanks..... Thanks for the words guys!

Always liked hose on the 3/4 ton models. Definitely an improvement in the looks of your truck.!!

That gives it a completely different look! I liked it before, but now that is one sharp looking 3/4 ton.

Re: New wheels: Finally!! Much better now *pics*
You made at least a $1000 difference in appearence with a $400 investment. Good move. Clean look. Like the color.
