Re: Project "Rock-a-Billy".....Saga Continues.....
ChiefRocka, I was hoping for a pic request. Could you show how you ran the wires to the horn relay and maybe a pic of your gauges? Thanks.
I enjoyed this thread a lot. |

Re: Project "Rock-a-Billy".....Saga Continues.....
Yeap, I agree radials for sure.
I went with these because they were cheap, and it's the look I wanted to go with. As with the 520-13 and 14's on lowriders , I've always like the squared of look of the tread. Someday, I'll get some radial wide-whites. But for now....she looks cool.

Re: Project "Rock-a-Billy".....Saga Continues.....
The wheels are the stocks off of a '69 C-10.....I'm sure they are similar to that of a '63, but I'm not positive.

Re: Project "Rock-a-Billy".....Saga Continues.....
Cool man...Nice truck...
Looks like your a first time poster...Welcome aboard !!! I always wondered what it would look like with a red roof....Looks cool. I think I'm gonna stick with a white roof...I might go with the white grill, though. You said look at my 'old' truck...did you mean a truck that you don't have anymore, or the truck you got thats old ?? ![]() ![]()

Re: Project "Rock-a-Billy".....Saga Continues.....
I sold that one last spring. The red stripe on the side and the top was heavy metal flake red. I just bought a 64 the other day to start on again. Cant decide on paint yet and I gotta slam it yet, get some whitewalls for it and put the motor and trans back in it.
