Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
Yes sir I need to order my bed and get that mocked up and on the frame. After I'm done mocking up the bed and bed floor I'm going to pull all the sheet metal and cab back off and redo my brake and fuel lines and also my exhaust. Then it's on to finishing the bodywork and paint and then hopefully putting it together for the last time

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
Ben, come on you can do a dropmember. Just unbolt yours and bolt one up. You know how much they cost. Sounds a lot easier and cheaper for someone else to say it huh? Id have to say I would do it over again for sure.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
Cleaned the truck up today and removed the tape from my wheels. It was definitely time to get the tape off, was a bit of a pita. I need to polish the wheels up, has some left over tape residue on them. I'll just wrap them in plastic for now on.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
I love those wheel! I was kinda worried about residue from the tape being on so long. You probably don't have some rollers you can bolt on? Goo gone should clean them up for ya. I bet you love having this puppy at home.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
Thanks Jason, hopefully it will be. Your truck already is bad ass, I really love the black on yours.

Yeah I'm glad too Rus, my problem now is I wish I would have went with a 22" in the rear I'm still debating it.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
If it was me, I'd wait until you put your bed on. You might like how the 20" rear wheel looks. I'm actually going to go with 20's all the way around when I get to replacing my current 22's. I like a little more sidewall though. Regardless of what you decide to do, I love those wheels, and your truck is looking better every time I see it.

I think you made the right call sticking with 20" all the way around. Just my opinion but I prefer non staggered diameters. But heck, you should just sell the whole set to me at nice discount....I have been trying to knock Kyle down on his, he's just not having it.... |

I figured you would be on Kyle for his, I know how much you like them and he is in your own back yard. You can see them in person. My first set of billets like 12-13 years ago were a 20/22 combo on my Dakota R/T. I was like the first person around to do it I always thought it looked good. Funny thing is I actually ordered these wheels as 20/22 but talked myself out of it and changed my order. Thanks Jason, will I get them back

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
You'll get them back, but it will probably take me "years" to get them to shine. LOL
