Re: 1966 Chevy SWB Gasser influenced truck
Cragar mags and (later Western mag knockoffs) have been popular since about 1965, but I always preferred Americans. I think it looked interesting and unique with the slicks, and now it just looks tough. Being so low it looks like a big cat waiting to pounce.
BTW those appear to be Torque Thrust D’s. One piece casting with curved spokes. TTO's have straight spokes, and TT2's are a two piece design and don't really look all that much like the cast wheels. Last edited by markeb01; 06-03-2011 at 09:11 PM. |

Re: 1966 Chevy SWB Gasser influenced truck
Thanks for the compliments guys! Yes they are Torq Thrust D's.
Tire guy came through for me. He exceeded my expectations. Its kind of weird how things work out. When I first started to build this truck I wanted ET-3 Classic 5 spokes(see pic below). 15s up front and 16s in rear no whitewalls and Cheaters in the rear. I could not find 16 in cheaters so change in plans and I went with Cragers, but had to have whitewalls. I cannot stand Cragers with blackwalls. Truck is still for sale, but I do have a plan for a mini makeover on the truck. Body shop is a friend so I am sure it will be there for a while.

Re: 1966 Chevy SWB Gasser influenced truck
No more "Gasser Influence".
No more Cragar and whitewalls. No more white bed floor, bed tubs will be back after bed is fixed. Grill is next for makeover. New Torq Thrust Originals 15X5 and 15X8.5

Re: 1966 Chevy SWB Gasser influenced truck
You have seen the light!! There is nothing like a tire tucked up in a wheel well with a lot of black tire sidewall ... and a pile of tread.....

Re: 1966 Chevy SWB Gasser influenced truck
The big & little TTOs really work on that truck. I totally love the way it looks. The "as cast" centers really set it off nicely, and the straight spokes of the TTOs give it an old school look. I've never been a fan of the curved spokes of the "D" wheels. The TTOs (or even the T-70s) are the right wheel for that truck.
