Going to search see if gm did them on any 5 lugs. I can hope. You said you spoke with em' how were they. What was pricing if you dont mind me asking? I drool all over their lincolns wanna do a caddy with their stuff. Always wanted to do a car up like they had i love my land yacht.

Re: Post you patina trucks!!!!!! Real or fake post your weathered beauties!
I had to play a bit of phone tag to get in touch with them but once I did they were very helpful and their prices are great for what they build in my opinion. Several guys on here are running their wheels! As far as what I was looking for it wasn't possible as they didn't have the tooling for them. You should give them a call, you'll have better luck with them then trying to find GM transport wheels in a 5 lug! lol

Re: Post you patina trucks!!!!!! Real or fake post your weathered beauties!
I only had to run a spacer with these because the center bore on the wheel was smaller than the hubs on the truck. Plus the spacers allowed me to get the exact backspacing I wanted also.

Re: Post you patina trucks!!!!!! Real or fake post your weathered beauties!
The patina is real on the cab and most of the bed. It was a longbed so I shortened the frame and the bed and then kinda faked the patina on the bed where it was cut and welded.

Re: Post you patina trucks!!!!!! Real or fake post your weathered beauties!
It has evolved. Its hard to tell in person from more than a few feet away except that I didn't grind the welds inside the bed and there is no filler on the bedsides at all so if you look close you can see the weld seams where I ground them down and the small amount of shrinkage from the welding. I didn't do any finish work at all besides grinding the outside welds smooth.

I found spray paint that was very close in color and fogged the entire bedsides and then fogged gray primer over that and let it dry then used a fine Scotch brite pad to scuff the entire bedside.

Re: Post you patina trucks!!!!!! Real or fake post your weathered beauties!
I really like color on 72. Is it factory ? mine was that green and white combo they made but i like the green on yours a bit more.

Yes the top two are all original paint, with minor touch ups some time in history.

I used the same method on the bed strips when I installed the new wood. They were black.
