I was gonna ask about them. Look alot nicer than just camper style. Also hope you guys dont think i mixed the trucks up that was my attempt at complimenting two trucks at once.

[Dm1pfoy1]

Lets keep this going you guys have been doing great far exceeded my thoughts on what was out there. Please keep it going......on side note wanted to share best anniversary gift so far (only year 2) wife got me custom plates i wanted "FSTNLUD" hope you all can figure it out.




What do you think of the parking lights?

[Rusbuilt]

Heres another one of mine! I have this one for sale right now.

[Rusbuilt]

This one was my first C-10, I did the faux-patina on it.

[BigCountryx]

My 70 next to my buddy's 65 at work. He's been driving this thing to work since he was hired 32 yrs ago. I offer to buy it every day lol.

Thought it might be. Thanks! Did you notch the rear?

[BigCountryx]

No, but I've got the notch if needed. As of yet it has only slightly bumped the snubbed a couple times out back. I'm not in a big hurry to install them. I've got some 2" blocks I'm considering installing. Notches mandatory at that point.

I'm not sure if this qualifies for this thread, but I found this while looking at some Craftsman tools, on the top it looks like a '70 with a dent on the hood and grill!

Im kind of a fan they come in anyother sizes? Really bit interested.If you dont know mobsteel take a look and google mobsteel you'll get why i thought that .

[Rusbuilt]

I am very familiar with the mob steel wheels, I even spoke with those guys about building a set of dually wheels for me. The GM transport wheels only come in 22" and 6 lug.

Thats sad i got lil ol' 5 lugs. :-(
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.

[Rusbuilt]

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

Yeah will do thanks. I really never thought about doing that up plus i only want like a 18 max. Out of curiosity to fit a 22" u you use a spacer or any other mods? Sorry to get on tangent.

[Rusbuilt]

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.
