When we moved into this house, we changed all the generic looking fans. I still have one left. I even added one on the patio cover. Now I'm thinking of doin the blades in my office. It still has the original fan in it.

Think of a "girlie" one to do. Like a flower or lace.

Thanks Alan.

Back to the truck, Dennis.

Strodder · 05-14-2012, 10:53 PM

Ok,ok,ok,ok,ok,ok....

Strodder · 05-15-2012, 03:37 PM

I helped my friend trailer his 55 Studebaker truck home a few months ago. He's putting a S-10 frame under it now, and the wheels won't fit. They are 5x5.5, same as our trucks. So guess what??? They are goin on for sure. They are 17" Torque Thrust's. I'm trading him labor for the wheels. After I get them the Crager's will be up for sale.

Strodder · 05-15-2012, 03:42 PM

My truck will look similar to this one, except be Red & Black. I'm excited. Waaahoooo

I'm sure they are a 5 X 5.5 bolt pattern. The front wheels are 15" and are uni lug. The rears are 16" and is a direct fit.
Here's how you measure.

watahyahknow · 05-15-2012, 03:45 PM

those wheels are just the best for classic chevy trucks in general

66-PMD-GMC · 05-15-2012, 03:58 PM

don't want to tick of the moderators but can you tell I am serious?

66-PMD-GMC · 05-16-2012, 03:35 PM

I don't know about all that but I do know that I know I am old now because I fart dust... that's when you know... that and the 5 on 5 pattern..

66-PMD-GMC · 05-16-2012, 03:35 PM

And that I love Cragar wheels!

Strodder · 05-16-2012, 03:39 PM

Yeah, there is a lot of that fart dust goin around...

66-PMD-GMC · 05-16-2012, 05:33 PM

At least I get the senior discount at the restaurant we go to... well, I think that's a good thing anyway...

Strodder · 05-16-2012, 09:16 PM

Big deal. I'm on Medical, & Social Security..

NOW..., where's that wrench????

66-PMD-GMC · 05-16-2012, 09:37 PM

I built a 71 GMC frame for my 66 and I have had the 66 apart for paint and to move it over to the 71 frame for a while now.
I was working on it this afternoon and spent 20 minutes looking for a 1/2" impact socket that was in my hand....DOH!

It will be nice to get the 66 Frankenstein done and back on the road. Power steering, automatic O/D trans, giant front and rear swaybars...... of course.. I will probably loose my keys in my pocket when I go to drive it.

Strodder · 05-16-2012, 10:55 PM

I found that wrench. It was in my pocket all the time. Found it when I took my dirty pants off to take a shower.

watahyahknow · 05-17-2012, 07:33 AM
