Re: What did you do to your truck today!
They are the Ridler 695 Chromes in 20x8.5 and 20x10.....the offsets are 0 for both front and rear. I can tuck them all the way and drop it down about 6 inches on the front. I have to roll the rear fenders a bit to allow them to tuck.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
honestly I dont know what the BS is. My wheel specialist went directly to Ridler to get these. Seemed every one was running Boss so I wanted a little different brand. What impressed me more was the a the Regional Rep personally delivered them to us here in Des Moines all the way from Kansas City. I have tried to find the BS for them, but that spec isnt offered or stated. Only thing in chart for Ridler is Offsets.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
I'm pretty sure they are 4.75" BS for the 20x8.5". I think this is the only backspace option they have for that size.

Re : Nice Bumper !
I wonder of I can get one like that painted ? my truck has little chrome , that smooth look really cleans up the front end's looks .
I just walked out to my truck in the fog @ 04:30 and clattered my way to the food store and coffee shop before coming back to listen to this 1904 recording : http://youtu.be/RUI_7JT8jRw on POO - TOOB , it appears not much has changed i the last century .

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
It's the one Brothers sells. I like it. Vary heavy steel much better then the after market stuff I have used.

Re: Smoothie Bumper
THANK YOU ! (note clever use of CHEVROLET BLUE THERE) .
@ $250 it'll have to wait until I find an honest and competent paint shop for my body off re spray job (hint !) but I do think this will be just the thing .

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
While I wait for the gas tank to come home from the "hot tank", I decided to the hand-me-down radio/cd player into the center console. It was fun.
The radio cost me $10 because I wanted to give the grandkids something when they laid it out to sell at a garage sale. They said "Ten Bucks!" I said, "Sold!" So, in she went today with a couple of okay speakers behind the seats. I also have a satellite radio that I moved from the used-once-in-a-while motor home. The radio, an older Pioneer, doesn't have an aux input. So, I wired up the satellite FM antenna to an antenna lead to the radio...Actually, I twisted them together and taped them. Solid sound. Total cost, about forty-three bucks for everything (I had the sat radio, but I got it "free" from Sirius. There's no free lunch, of course). That was fun. Next step, back under the truck to set up wiring for the electric fuel pump. But that's for another day.
