Actually looking for suggestions on a nice wheel that would look good on this. The 3 blades are OK, but I'd like something else.

Sorry about that, for some reason I glossed over the wheel part, and only read "suggestions".

What size wheel are you looking for?
Without knowing, specifications, I'd say these would look pretty good.

I know someone on the forum used some steel smoothies, and used some hubcaps from a 70's pick up, like these.
Once it was all together, it looked really nice.

Very cool truck.

I like mechanixman's idea on the steelies with the caps. Black steelies with white caps will make that red pop.

I like it. Is the running gear on the stock 55 frame? Looks like a NP205 transfer lever. My drive train is 74, I will be running stock 16" steel wheels with chrome caps like the painted ones below and trim rings.

77 drive train. You're right - NP205! Still undecided on wheels... keep what I have for now until I find something I really like.
