Yeh,and it seems to have axles or hubs from some European truck. Or,they use those axles on GM trucks over there? I've seem pictures of GM trucks with those before

Also,no matter how you rotate or change wheel position you always have the shiny side out.

sPECIAL k... Who made those smooth stainless caps that i see on alot of some duallys....like On the white one???...all flush front and rear that cover the lug nuts....my dad had a set years ago on his dually and i would like to find some..I have seen them on chrome budds and simulators ........thanks

tobytuttle · 12-31-2012, 08:44 PM

I remember my dads last set of chrome budds on his 83...all i can remember was the logo/decal on the centercap, but not the name of the wheel.....they had a decal that had a side profile of a Knight's helmet with like a red feather coming out the top???

special-K thanks, I'm pretty proud of it.
C10-C90 Bill, thanks, yes its a holmes 440. its a later model than the truck, but I like it. this truck is kinda special to me, 1st this is the biggest project my son and I have ever done together, he did ALOT of work on this truck, 2nd I named the truck after a friend of mine (I got the bed from him) who passed away last year. Oh the trucks name is big Earnest.. Coop

**special-K** · 01-01-2013, 08:42 AM

Earnest huh? Well,that makes this truck all the more special,coupled with you and your son making it happen. You do realize Ernest is Holmes' name,right?

coops714x4 · 01-01-2013, 01:01 PM

Yes I do, my friends name is Earnest Thomas. I am having the name put where the "Holmes 440" emblem was.

**oldwagon** · 01-01-2013, 02:37 PM

Coop, wrecker is lookin' good!!!! Been looking forward to seeing the bed attached to it. Be looking for more pics!!!
