Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
Thanks Jimmy, I'm excited about it.
Thanks Nate, definitely was the right choice to switch to the Porterbuilt parts. I'm really excited about the rendering too. Posted via Mobile Device

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
I like the rendering. The truck will be sick if you built it like that.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
Well guys I hate to do this but im selling my Intros. I know I know, after I bought them I said I wouldn't be changing wheels again but I didn't expect the wife and I to be looking at purchasing a house this soon, but its a buyers market and I need a garage and workspace of my own. I'm tired of driving 60 miles round trip to my brothers house to work on my truck. It is more important to me to get this truck done then to have a set of billet wheels at this time. I want to finish this truck, so it just makes more sense to spread the money out across a bunch of parts then just wheels.
I'm keeping the Porterbuilt dropmembers cause they are also more important to me then billet wheels and I want the low ride height with the added ground clearance and rack and pinion steering. I also want to run accuair which is pricey but worth it and again worth it more then the wheels. So i'm going to go back to a set of cheaper wheels but still going to be 20's. I'm up in the air about what to run, I like the Showwheel Streeter and also those new Detriot Steel Steelies but are concerned with the weight of them. I also still love Coys but hate their customer service so I don't know if I feel like dealing with them. link to the for sale thread: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=577119

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
How about Ridler 695's? They're not so bad on price, and come in a bunch of different finishes. Sorry to hear you have to switch again, but I'm sure you'll love the shop space!

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
I would be all over them if I hadn't spent the money to paint my cab and staring down the barrel of $15,000 worth of shingles for my house and garages..

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
I really don't want to sell these but feel it needs to be done, i listed them yesterday and then deleted the listing cause i got cold feet I'm not going to give them away either, If nobody wants to give me the $2500 for them then I'll just keep them. We will see what happens.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
I got cold feet again and took the forsale thread down for the Intros. I really don't feel comfortable selling these wheels. I went back through my thread and re-read all the impulse decisions I have made and don't want to make another and regret it. My wife reminded me that I sold 2 sets of wheels already to get these Intros for a reason, so just keep them and don't worry about it. She said, so what if your truck takes a little longer because you could have used that money towards other things. Sometimes I am way to impatient and need to just relax. All I want is for the truck to be done and cruising the streets but I have to remind myself that it will get there.
