I think I might order one of the showwheels and see how it mounts up in the back. Worst case I'm out $200.

Thanks for all the help. Your truck looks awesome! Everything is spot on!

Thanks! Sounds like you have good parts en route. I miss my DM Blazer... Maybe try a Percy's Wheel-Rite tool- they're expensive for what you get, but there will be no question what BS you need...

This is what we all want even if we don't admit it. Shiney is cool but the old original style barnfind look with updated wheels is where it's at. Perfect blend.....

Haha- this comment just made my day!

They do- plenty of clearance for turning/tucking

Thanks a lot! No worries- I do the same thing- many of the mods you see here were someone else's idea before mine...

Nice build, doing the same stuff I'll be doing to my '65 once I finish my son's '82. I hope to go up to GG's lonestar in October, maybe I can get to meet you.

That's what I'm talkin about! Looking forward to it

Don't think we'll make fall unfortunately, but spring is a good possibility

Yeah Showheels should take a look at what he did to those wheels and produce them in the same way. They would sell a hell of a lot more of them. I would have bought them instead of my Coys if they would have looked like this. Definitely give you props for taking brand new wheels and having the know how and fearlessness to modify them. I would have never thought to do that or even had the balls to do it.

Thanks! Casting them without the script on the spokes would help them a lot more, too...

Haha- bravery and stupidity are closely related

I'm just glad the Streeters turned out somewhere close to what I expected them to look like. I do like the shape of the spokes better than the Coy's, but the major factor to me was the price; Coy's have gone WAY up since I last bought them...
