Honestly, if I were made of money I'd have a set of Boyd Spectrums in 20x8.5 and 20x10 with black centers and machined (or maybe polished) lips...

Can anyone photoshop the center of this wheel black?

Mike - you just have to keep playing with it, it takes time and patience to do. I spent about 2 hrs yesterday messing with one and got it close, but it still needs some more adjusting. If you have someone to help you, it goes a lot quicker....

One other thing I forgot to mention, depending on where you engine is located in your truck, you may need to order a longer shift rod from LOKAR. I had to use a long one on all three of my trucks and they are all positioned in the truck differently and have different transmissions.
Here's a good video on how to set it up: 1972 K25 - Lokar Shift Linkage Part 2 - YouTube

I talked to Lokar this morning. The longer rod that Rob mentioned is part # 1832. It is 26" instead of the standard 21" that comes with the kit. Hope this helps.

My current spindles are not the modular style but I will be swapping to 63-70 drop spindles to better work with the rack n pinion in my PB kit so I will certainly have them when it's done and on coil overs.

I would definitely add the CPP Modular spindles since you are swapping to the 63-70 version.
Looks like part # CP30106-2.

I really like those Boyds wheels. Looking forward to seeing some PB parts go together!

I am chomping at the bit but my wife would blow a gasket if I start pulling the truck apart while we are trying to sell our house. Not sure if I shared a pic of what is distracting me from my truck build... a new house... with a 3 car garage.

smbrouss70 · 05-23-2014, 03:57 PM

Congrats! Looks like the new garage is going to be roomy. So where is the wife going to park?

knomadd · 05-23-2014, 05:35 PM

I want a 3-car garage! That'll be nice, even if you have to give up a space for the wife, like I do.

C10_ustacould · 05-23-2014, 08:21 PM

Did a little grinding tonight, I think this one is close enough that the body man can smooth it the rest of the way. Just happy to have made some progress.

C10_ustacould · 05-23-2014, 08:27 PM

Another update, Hart_Rod and I went and picked up some sheet metal last weekend. It was a marathon ride to Atlanta and back but it was worth it. Here is a pic of what I like to call my rust free west coast truck repair kit.

sprint_9 · 05-24-2014, 11:48 PM

Ive been wanting to build or buy a new house for 2 years but haven't had much luck, looks like you got a nice pad.

I think I'm going to try and find a 68 front clip... and some buddy buckets.

preacher anthony · 06-06-2014, 10:43 AM

Where did the sheet metal come from for replacement?

The rockers are NOS GM pieces, everything else is Tri-Plus from AMD.

preacher anthony · 06-06-2014, 02:39 PM

Thanks, I was thinking of using AMD myself. I just bought a '69, need rockers, inner fenders and some patch panels.

Cool, definitely good stuff from AMD. My rockers came from board member davestrucks, he may have another set. Be prepared though they are pricey.

preacher anthony · 06-06-2014, 02:51 PM

Thanks, I just need the driver's side.
