all 4 center caps are there!!! but only like 1 lug nut per wheel i'll just pick some up at the tire place probably,,..are they special or what?

[usmcchevy]

My rims needed a 1" shank type lug, local places wanted about $3 each, he had them for about half that shipped.

[oldblue1968chevy]

hmm well a fellow board member runs a tire shop locally i'll support him and maybe he'd cut me a deal who knows!

shoulda said something we coulda met up and talked trucks!

Thanks for the info hubscrub ya gonna be going any this summer? Ima try to make it once or twice...there alot of fun is it a pretty good turnout?

[oldblue1968chevy]

Ok, talked the guy with the bed and 5 lug coil spring rearend down to 75$ then right as I was going to buy it the guy with the lwb late 70's frame with my slotted wheels called hes delering it this evening to me for 200$!!!!

So maybe I can trade the frame (minus wheels) to the guy with the coil spring rearend.. (hes a real horse trader, depending on what gear ratio the leaf spring rearend has I wanna stay 373 gears!!)

Tonite I'll have pics of my wheels a lil more polished up and hopefully this week i'll be getting my new bed, selling my bed to a craigslist guy, and gettin my slots mounted on my tires and my rearend blasted painted refreshed AGAIN

[VA72C10]

[oldblue1968chevy]

the ol chevy had to put up with a bunch of fords at last weekends cruise in..

heres a pic of the cars/trucks at the restaraunt in DUNLAP TN. Wish I took better pics...

Got all 4 of my wheels polished what a pita..may go back sometime and repolish em all (not perfect but decent for driving, not shows).

Now I gotta get me a 5 lug rearend and a bedside and im complete once again!

[oldblue1968chevy]

heres a before polish and after polish pic

[VA72C10]

Nice job on the rims.....look good from VA

[OARNGESI]

The wheels look great why not just use the 5lug rearend you already have just a little welding

[oldblue1968chevy]

I was,,but it was too much trouble I have no knowledge of stuff like that and there was a rearend across the street for the same price I sold my whole frame hopefully I have new pics for yall.

I sold the 78 frame yesterday for 75$ but sold the bumper and 4 tires for 40$

thanks on the wheels ima do em all again sometime..there better than they were

[threeonthetree]

Trucks looking good. Rims are cooooool.

[matchstick]

I've got a new white rear bumper you can have if you want it. I can leave it in Smithville with my parents if you want to go there and pick it up.

[oldblue1968chevy]

May take ya up on it but leme play with my dented bumper and see what I can do..

yeah thanks threeonthetree! you need some slots too!

[oldblue1968chevy]

Well heres what I drug home I THINK its a lwb (cant tell and didnt measure) the floor is pretty solid has a few holes but not bad. drivers side is SHOT passenger side doesnt look that great but has a dent in it and a lil rust on the top (not bad at all)

whats GM60 stand for its stamped on the axle...its VERY hot out and im letting the pb blaster soak in lol..heres the pics

I can spin one tire and the other doesnt spin at all..is that normal?...its missing the yoke (arhhh) but for $75 bucks I think I did ok...I ALMOST got a pic of dad tipping it upside down with the tractor i was about 5 seconds late woulda made a cool pic

in the 2nd pic in the righthand corner the house with the green roof, the bed was laying in their yard for about 10 years, i didnt even have to go a mile to pickup lol

[VA72C10]

GM60= govloc rear??? maybe...can't remember....might be a factory limited slip....some like some HATE them... but I'm not sure if that was the code or not anyways...
