I can't afford anything after the air ride project..... well maybe for a 3 three wheeler . if Don's not there, I'll be flying solo. speaking of which, he said you finally caught up with him. he was soooooo happy you thought it looked nice. he loves compliments!

to get back to your truck, I couldn/t have picked a cleaner wheel to go on your ride. you've got a great eye, and you

Dale, not many... let me rephrase, no one but about 3-5 people knew about my soon to be purchase, so don't feel bad.

When I saw you posting pictures of your new wheels, I was just chomping at the bit. Your truck looks good, can't wait to see it.

Re: Project: Blank Slate

I've heard about these 6-lug Vintecs for a while now & was wondering when they would become a reality. Looks verrrrrrrrrrry nice!

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Re: Project: Blank Slate

Thanks a lot guys!

Several of the trucks on the site were sporting the Vintec's before me, and from their experiences and recommendation of quality, there wasn't a second chioce for me. (especially while keeping the 6-lug setup).

I would highly recommend these wheels to anyone, because they are worth every penny. Heck when it came time to balance them out, all of the wheels required next to nilche as far as weights.

When I mentioned bags to my wife she just rolled her eyes, shook her head, and said "Whatever you want dear."

Anyone have any chapstick they can send me... I'm already out.

Man, I hate that I missed the big reveal Lost all my subscribed threads a month ago (2600+ of them) when I upgraded to High Octane. Been slowly adding them back in as I have time and post in threads...Back up to 278 with yours back in the "fold"

New to the site, and just finished going thru this entire thread. That is an amazingly clean truck! Love the new wheels and stance, but please don't (and I'm sure you won't) get rid of those rallies! Looks great either way though!
