Thanks Longhorn and Sicklajoie. I was afraid of that. Means it'll be a little harder to find some caps, I guess. Anyways, pics of my steelies:

oldblue1968chevy · 05-11-2011, 09:43 PM

wh1 thats a really sweet 68 man!!! get some caps clr and a detail job maybe and drive the heck outta it!

wh1skea · 05-11-2011, 10:30 PM

Thanks. Bought it Monday last week. What was really sweet was the price. $800. Thats WITH the original 307 in it, in running condition. I need a bed for it...not really thrilled about the stakebed.

oldblue1968chevy · 05-11-2011, 10:38 PM

Yeah me neither, hey I noticed your just south of me in Chatt.

Ya interested in a cruise in theyve got one about a hour north of you in Manchester TN downtown on the square, its usually a big turn out! Its this saturday afternoon/evening if you need more info PM me

wh1skea · 05-11-2011, 10:47 PM

I would love to take it to a cruise in, but that won't be happening until I get the trans swapped out. The syncros in the 3-speed are acting up, or at least thats what I'm told. On my drive home with it the night I bought it, I had to down shift when climbing a hill. After I got going downhill, all three gears acted like they were 1st. Have another Saginaw 3 speed on the way thanks to ebay though. That and a tune-up and she should be ready to roll.

Has anyone run the '90s Caprice cop car wheels? They are 5 0n 5 with small round holes...maybe 18 or so. If I wanted something different that's what I'd do,with '90s truck centers. Sorry,no picks.

oldblue1968chevy · 05-12-2011, 04:23 PM

Gee, you could've been able to pick up a 3 spd locally and save on shipping id guess.?

What to caprice wheels look like?

wh1skea · 05-12-2011, 05:00 PM

with shipping, I only paid $105.

Here is a pic of the Caprice wheels:

oldblue1968chevy · 05-12-2011, 07:15 PM

Thats a cool look for a steel wheel! How is the BS on our trucks work out?

**special-K** · 05-15-2011, 09:22 AM

They work just fine because those cars were RWD. Back in the good ole days when everything was RWD backspacing wasn't even a concern.

I think those centers with rallyes look the best. Looks good!

Here is what's on my 1970 K10, not sure I care for them since I prefer the original whites. Who knows, they may grow on me.

I'll give you $10.00 each for those hubcaps.

(laughing because I know they are worth more than that...not because I think they are ugly or anything
