Re: My 64 build
Made some more progress. Got my wheels and tires finally. I used the 15x8 Rallys painted with PPG Argent Silver and 90's model center caps. The tires are BFG P275-60/15 and they are gonna be a perfect fit. I have rebuilt the entire front suspension and hope to get going on the brake lines and fuel line real soon.

Re: My 64 build
Thanks guys. Yes, I am looking for the narrow trim rings. I never cared much for the wider ones on this style wheel. Still a long way to go, LOL

Re: My 64 build
Look for some off the same place the caps came from.... 88-98 GM trucks have the cleanest 'narrow' trims rings that are high quality. Progress is looking good!

Re: My 64 build
I just cut the tunnel out of my 64 & it might have that area. Let me check tomorrow & I'll get a pic up to see if there's enough there for a patch.

Re: My 64 build
I have the tunnel floating around in the bed of the dually. I'll try & get pics of that area where the studs go for you tomorrow. I can get you that piece of the floor, but I'll need to keep the pedal studs for my 64. My cutline was right where the floor steps-up to the left of the studs so you'll still need to patch some steel in w/this section.

Re: My 64 build
Thanks PRO. I used an old style 1/4" with a 9/16" radius metal bender. My dad had it so there is not telling how old it is. I was very pleased with the results mainly because i don't know anything about fitting tubing and all that goes with it. Secondly, I was real surprised my temper didn't blow before it was all done, LOL. Those BFG's have been my favorite style of white letter tires for many years. I knew when i started this build that i just HAD TO HAVE a set.
