got some new wheels for the work truck
The 86 I just bought was sitting for a few years and the tires had a lot of dry rot and one sidewall split so I decided to pick up a set of stock wheels/tires from a new truck. Didnt have a lot of time or money to find the tires I want but these will work for now. What do you think?

Re: got some new wheels for the work truck
I thought the newer 8 lugs were a different pattern? Great look tho, that's what my 87 30 needs!

Re: got some new wheels for the work truck
Did you have to use different lugnuts? If so where did you get them?

You have to use a conversion lugnut, I've bought some at autozone before but I couldnt find any in town so I ordered them on ebay.

Cochino, can I get a close up pic of your front lockout? Was it hard to customize the cap? Thanks. Jason
