Well since my rear has always had the posi chatter (pop) when it warms up, I decided to take out the rear end and look more closely at the clutches. Hopefully all is well...

Not sure on the black wheels but will ride them for a few days and see if it grows on me.

Oh I'm sure it does and the black is the style, I like the white myself and agree next you need 8" in the rear. The truck does look good though I really like copo caps.

I know I know. Now its gonna be tough to back white

I know what I'll do, I have another set of 5 lug 7s at home. I'll paint those white and swap them out, the fronts will wipe off with brake clean

**lolife99** · 02-12-2013, 08:09 PM

Excellent work and pics,... but you need some 8's on the rear.

I think I am going to agree with you

Those are 7s out back and the 6 lug
6s up front.

**lolife99** · 02-12-2013, 08:14 PM

Just move those 7's to the front, when you do the disc brake swap,...

That I will def do. Just need to find some 8s. I do have another set of those
7s if anyone wants to trade

NewType72 · 02-12-2013, 08:28 PM

Do some 10's all round #teamsteamroller. And I preferred the white but you changed already

Lookin' good man. I guess I'm in the minority. I like the black wheels. Especially on light color trucks. I do agree about swapping for eight inchers out back.

I say keep 'em black for a while. It'll grow on you. I didn't like black rims until I saw a few with poverty caps on this site.

Im with you. I like the black a lot!

shawno72 · 02-12-2013, 10:23 PM

Well I already painted my extra set of wheels white, but I will rock the black wheels for a bit and see how they grow. May try some thin rings?

Rusbuilt · 02-12-2013, 10:45 PM

You know I think the black wheels look ok! But you should put the thin white walls out!

Bennett68C10 · 02-12-2013, 11:03 PM

Eventhough I do like Black wheels I liked the white wheels on your truck better, especially with the white paint. Now if your truck was Red I would say it would be no contest for the black wheels.

shawno72 · 02-13-2013, 08:49 AM

Decisions, decisions. I think I should leave the black wheels for a few days but I am taking the extra white set with me to work jus in case

On another note. I need to take this thing down the highway a bit and get the rearend warm and see it the posi popping noise is gone.

shawno72 · 02-14-2013, 02:54 PM

Well good news the rear end issue is gone. And just to clarify I do indeed have a factory posi in great original shape.

I bet it had the wrong fluid in before you changed the axles. Posi/limited slip diff's need an extra additive added opposed to open diff's which just take standard gear oil.
