That sounds like a plan to me!!!

Any chance you can bring that beauty to OKC for our truck meet on May 15th? That would be awesome!

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

know

how particular I am!!!!

Hmm.... sounds like a great event, but I doubt I'll be able to make it this year. I hope this will become a yearly event because I would love to make the trek to OKC sometime.

Looking forward to the meet next weekend.

I appreciate the comment Doug. I wanted clean/mostly classic looking wheel but with that 'pop'.

Thanks Daren! You should mark you calendar for the Magic Dragon show at Lake Ozark April 30-May 2. There's going to be over 800+ participants and several board members there.

jojo · 04-04-2010, 12:36 AM

Nate, I've been keeping up with your project thread for some time now and I must say... I never saw it coming (those big shiny wheels).

The truck looks great!

**88JRFAN** · 04-04-2010, 12:49 AM

I would like to come a get together soon. I'm just not sure which one i will be able to make. Am supposed to come that way to help some family on a house. Will hopefully find out more info tomorrow. You going to come to the get together on May 15th?

You sure know how to keep a secret...
I just want to say that for me, I DON'T LIKE IT...

Great choice, Stunning good looks Nate...Kiss that girl of yours. She is rare.

n2billet · 04-04-2010, 11:57 AM

Looks great!

Two words to keep in mind AIR BAGS!

SCOTI · 04-04-2010, 12:16 PM

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

gcburdic · 04-04-2010, 01:44 PM

Looks awesome Nate!!!....Now you got me thinking!!

*Puropedo* · 04-04-2010, 03:16 PM

Man, dont know how I missed your latest update, truck looks killer!...

**Nobby** · 04-04-2010, 05:25 PM

That looks Great Nate!

Dam I gotta get to work on my truck!

crawdadfox · 04-04-2010, 06:22 PM

I have allways liked Vintec's.....looks GREAT! Happy B-day ol' timer!

hot trux · 04-04-2010, 11:38 PM

LOOKIN GOOOOOOOD Natenater!!

72BlckButy · 04-05-2010, 03:05 PM

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.

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.
