Thanks for the heads up special-K.

Now I got to ask. How did you come up with that user name?

I have the F#^d Accuride's on my Longhorn.

In my excitement to show and tell, I forgot to say I got my wheels at the local tire shop, and found the hubcaps on this site.

Here's the story. I've always been a K/20 nut and have had many. In '91 I bought one out of Southern CA that was almost DeadheadNM's truck's twin. Loaded Cheyenne Super Custom Camper, same color, wheels, and more. When I joined this site I used Super-K as my user name because that's what I called that truck. I didn't use the computer much at all back them, but since I stumbled onto this site for the trucks I have loved forever, through a link, I signed up. I think that was '01 cuz that's when I finally asked my kids how to use it...because I kept seeing website addresses given in Hemmings Motor News listings, which is where I found my K2500 in my signature in '01. Then, when we got a wireless laptop and got away from dial-up I got a Hotmail account. I couldn't get on here with Super-K and my new e-mail address. I didn't know what to do so I just put in Special-K, because I always envisioned Super-K using that logo. The fact that I didn't end up with a capital "S" for special shows my computer ignorance. I didn't give a dang what it was, I just needed a name and since at that time I had three very special '72 Ks (as well as a '71 and a couple Blazers) it was a non-specific to one truck name. One thing I had no idea of is that there is a street drug with that name, which in time other members advised me of... DOH!! I have thought up many names that I'd prefer over this one, but back to the original "I don't really care" attitude I started with. I the K2500 and after 14 years it has become all the more "special"... k?

I'm still Super-K on CK5 and a couple other truck sites I signed up on, but rarely ever go on those. This is my home away from home...from home

Tim,
That is a great story.
My user name did not take much imagination.
A couple of days ago I tried to count the number of these trucks I've owned over the last forty years and couldn't do it.
As with you I have a strong passion for them.
Thank you very much for all of the energy that you put into helping all of the members on this forum. It is greatly appreciated.
Jake

I always hope to help, anyway. Sometimes that means help start trouble

Acorn's right. They're F*rd van rims. I found them on Ebay. Got them powdercoated.
I found the hubcaps on Ebay, too. I was very lucky. They were tarnished, but had no dents. They needed a lot of TLC and elbow grease.
And my Michelins are 265/75/16. Got them through Discount Tire Direct.

Great thread!

I have the same wheel and tire set-up as Sicklajoie too.

Bought mine from roadreadywheels.com at the time 2 years ago they were $70 each, they are for an f250 van. Didnt find any chrome dog dish but bought a nice drivers set of painted ones here in the for sale forum

**special-K** · 09-24-2020, 11:43 AM

Looks great with the white caps and deeper wheels

Thanks . I think chrome wouldn't look as nice eventhough it had them when new.
