15x8 steelies off a 70's 4x4 Blazer. Got them cheap. Sure going to look better than the ugly black 1990's mag wheels on it now! Im very excited to see how it changes the look!

It'll look WAY better with those new steelies on there.

Some Ralleys & factory originals. Green & flat black are the same truck - before & after.

The air cleaner is kinda spiffy isn't it!! They are Delmo valve covers. I actually have to contact him to build a driveshaft for me.

Hey Rochlow, what wheel / tire combo is that? I just went and picked up my 4 stock steelies that came on my 70 cst, but I was thinking that I would try and snag a couple 4x4 blazer steel wheels for the back. aren't they supposedly wider? Anyone can feel free to inform me. I just like the look of that combo.

The fronts are 15x6.5 with a 215/70/15 tire and the rears are 15x8 with a 275/60/15 tires

Detroit Steel is where I was thinking of going with mine. I see you may have done the same. What size front and rear? What tire sizes? I am not copying. Just curious.

Took the original split rims off for one-piece 16's. Found and restored a set of chrome caps to replace the original white painted caps. Restoring the faded trim paint in the second photo. A real time consumer!

Just curious, are you going to spray that trim or paint it with a brush? Same goes for the hubcaps...did you spray or brush?

Sprayed both. Took many hours to do all four. I spaced it out over several weeks so I wouldn't get sick of it.

The thin darker blue tape is 3M vinyl-style tape which is easier to work with around corners, etc. O'Reilly's had it but I had to ask for it from their paint department. They don't stock it on the shelves.

Those will work but make sure you get either the 5 on 5 bolt pattern for 5 lug or the 6 on 5.5 for 6 lug bolt pattern.
