Duh! That explains it.

I once knew that the bolt circle was the same because I tried to give those five wheels to the neighbor kid with a T-100, but it turned out he had an extra set of wheels already sitting around.

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’

Yep. For whatever reason, the Japanese trucks all ran the Chevy bolt pattern from way way back, not even metric. Didn't you love the ole days when things were so standardized? Things that were just fine the way they were and everybody got used to. Shoot, these days of Willy Nilly thinks he should be able to do as he pleases, you don't even know if the twisty on the bread will be lefty loosie or not! What next, random direction for bolt threads??? "Why does tight always get to be right and I have to be loose? wah wah wah"

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’

Toyota bought the rights to the 235 CI Chevy 6 to put in their Land Cruisers. I guess they wanted to carry the details all the way out to the wheels. After all, there's no point in reinventing the wheel.

I've got several old trailers sitting around, with five hole wheels that are all the same. My understanding is that they were also a F**d wheel for a long time, and fit many Jeeps. I think the bolt circle fits my 88 XJ but I'm not sure the wheels fit over the brakes. I know the backspace is wrong but they should still work if they clear the brakes, just sit out farther than intended. Would be better than walking.

(Just today I had four tires that came off my jeep mounted on four of those trailer wheels for the 12' flatbed. Turns out they don't make that size tire anymore but I figured it was worth paying to mount four brand new tires on the old trailer that had rotted tires on it. The tire shop had to give me four new bigger tires after I ruined one, but I talked them into giving three back to me because I had to buy a brand new spare for the Jeep just because they couldn't replace one with the same size tire.)

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’

Frenching in the 39 Ford taillight on my Springer. Yes I use lead on motorcycles holds up better than bondo. Fender is from a Fatboy

I'm thinking of doing this on 68 but not in the fender but in the bumper or adding a roll pan

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’

Looks good on the bike. Leave the '68 stock . The best looking tail light on a Stepside is a Stepside tail light. For custom, just older smaller ones. Stepside beds have tail lights that are attached to the bed stanchions that stick out. It's ok, it's how it was meant to be.

How about a little better picture from Wheels Through Time? A Softail Knucklehead and a horizontal twin

Surfs up Moondoggy. My new (to me) long board. I think it'll look cool on my hearse.

This baby is big!

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’

Cool! That will look good on the hearse for sure.

Looks about my favorite size, about a 7'1"-7'3" spear. Is it a pintail? From starting surfing in the '60s long boards to me are the logs they started off on, like 8'+ and when boards like your other one came out we called them short boards . When those came out is when surfing style got all hyper trying to squeeze as many moves out of a wave as they could, cutting back into the wave several times. I like the graceful long flowing turns, just taking what the wave has to offer. A lot depends on the size of the waves. The Easy Coast guys loved the short board on the small waves with lower power. They'd milk all they could out of that mush.

It's not a pintail. But for 50 bucks I'm not complaining. I've been looking for one for a long time.

Looks real nice Tim. Metal roofing is becoming more and more the norm. Last month we removed the 30+ year old asphalt roofing on our shop and put down a metal roof. I had put it off for years and finally found the time while being out of work. I like it.
