New wheel tire combo ready to mount (skinny tires + big block) - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Ekliptix · 12-05-2018, 03:35 PM

In my thread here, http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=763360, I was looking for input to get a stock hubcap looking setup for my C10.

I tracked down some original hubcaps on Ebay, found some 15x7" wheels at Scott's Supertrucks, Alberta, and ordered the Cooper Trendsetter tires.

The wheels were painted red, so I sanded the paint off, and spray painted primer, white paint, and clear coat. The tire mounting shop nicked the painted lip up during the tire installation, so I had to do some paint touch ups. I'm not going to the hassle or cost of powder coating the wheels like I've seen others do.

Nothing fancy

Primer

Waiting for the paint to dry, went sledding in British Colombia (iPhone photos).

Tires

Mounted with hubcaps

Can use a little polish

Next, mount 'em on the truck. What a build up with no pics on the truck, eh?! I'll get them on an update with a photo.

Man that looks awesome! You guys are above the clouds, bet it was a blast. And ya, get some pics of the truck

Looks like a blast. I raced dirt bikes for years. Sleds are so forgiving compared to a bike, like being on the water. We carved up the deep woods of northern Michigan in my youth before I moved out west(bikes in the summer, sleds in the winter). My '91 KTM 250 still sits in my garage pissed at me cuz Im not 25 anymore

Great wheel/tire/po1 combo - can’t wait to see it on the truck.

toolboxchev · 12-06-2018, 02:23 PM

That would be just simply awesome!

OldBlue70C10 · 12-06-2018, 02:44 PM

I have a new set of these hubcaps as well, and was planning to do something similar. I am so glad you posted this so i could see what it will look like, They look great!

toms68cst · 12-06-2018, 08:48 PM

That's gonna be sharp!

Myself · 12-07-2018, 11:07 AM

This reminds me........I've got a set of 15x7 white steelies sitting in a storage building under some junk. I wonder if I still have caps for them??

**davischevy** · 12-07-2018, 11:42 AM

I'm in the process of putting my NOS wheel covers and 7" wheels and white walls on my truck.

**Already Gone** · 12-08-2018, 01:43 PM

15 x 7 rallys painted white with P01's but no white walls which would I'm sure enhance the look of my truck..

Aus69c20 · 12-09-2018, 06:42 AM

Wow. Loved your truck before. Now it’s next level goodness.

aerotest · 12-09-2018, 10:24 AM

Man that truck looks tight! Nice work.

**jocko** · 12-09-2018, 11:28 AM

Can't believe you made that truck look even better - that looks perfect!

Coley · 12-09-2018, 12:59 PM

Absolutely love the look of the whitewalls and the original P01's.....damn near perfect, nicely done.
As for the sled/mountain/B.C pics.....unbelievable....as usual.
Living near the Alberta/BC border is a gift from God....lol.
Out here on the coast the mountain line is pretty much always green ....but the winter sports element is such a great thing...Sleds, Skates, Ski's.....nice going eh?...lol

All good
Coley

Po1s are the best. That truck is serious eye candy.
