I use my 20% off coupon at Harbor Freight and they end up costing me about 4.25 each. I like the 4.5" size. Be aware which way the disc is rotating on edges. I used up 1/2 of one disc on that fender. The remaining areas that I couldn't get to will be blasted, but the disc is less messy and it literally erases paint and rust. Even takes off the factory undercoating if you work carefully. It's my paint stripper of choice.

Oh alright I need something for a Paint remover on my Truck

[SCHRUMGMC]

Nice parts man

[markeb01]

Always fun to get new stuff.

Fixed my right blinker. The metal tabs that touch the bottom of the bulb didn't have enough spring in em and wasn't touching the bulb contacts. And needed to sand/clean off where the socket grounds to the housing. Legal beagle now!

Estimated the price to fix it

Ebay came through with a 10% off coupon just as I was looking for tires so I saved 72.00. Timing is everything and I hope they look good.

Got some new/old chrome wheels.. They are 15x8 and the chrome needs a little work..

The first pic is with the older 215/70/15



This pic is with the 235/75/15.



All the tires on these rims are shot, but the are good for a mockup or test fit.

[SCHRUMGMC]

Like the white trim on the tire

[61_FL_Apache]

Gotcha! Its just a factory white wall tire.. The ones on the back have the white wall on the inside.

[SCHRUMGMC]

[lil_sahara450r]

LOL! It happens to the best of us! You're on one of the best forum sites on the web SCHRUMGMC. Stay on here, READ, and have a blast with that truck of yours!

Trust me, my wife gets SICK of hearing about my truck, plans for my truck, things I wanna buy for my truck, things I just bought for my truck, things I just did to....... I'll stop, you get the point lol!

[SCHRUMGMC]

Heck yeah bud, Love this site..Just get so overwhelmed seeing so many peoples trucks and Excited for my First Truck

I always run into people with old trucks and tell them to join this Site


What did you do to your truck today bud ?

[lil_sahara450r]

Unfortunately..... nothing.... I'm knee deep in remodeling my house right now, so that takes up all of my free time. But hey, gotta keep the wife happy.

[SCHRUMGMC]

First thing I am going to do is Work,work and some more work on my Truck...Hopefully y'all will give me some wise advice once I get her

[tincan1966]

First piece of advise- shop around. Just because LMC is the cheapest on alot of stuff, doesn't mean they are the best. I've used them on about every project i've had at some point because they are close to me, but I am almost always disappointed that i didn't wait or spend a little more money somewhere else.

Second advise: There are only a very few places that make the sheet metal parts for these trucks- but LOTS of places selling them. There are some real good forums about which brands to look for and what to avoid.

Third: Caution, I am known to be quite stubborn and opinionated and tend voice my thoughts randomly! LOL! I base this on over 30 years in this business, building everythng from model A sedan street rods to being on the crew of the 2010 World Fuel Altered National Champion.

Fourth: USE ALL THE INFO YOU RECIEVE- there are tons of guys here with so much knowledge at your disposal. Search the forums before posting a thread- chances are your questions have already been asked and answered by someone else.

OK time to head for coffee!
Have a great weekend everyone! And lets see if someone can get one more of these trucks back on the road(sadly it won't be me this weekend)

Lookin Good!!!

[1964Chevy]

62 Barnfind, what is that color? When I was in the US Army I rebuilt a 68 Pontiac Tempest Convertible and painted it a metallic blue that looks exactly like yours. I like it.
