Looks like it was meant to be there

The1960APE · 08-24-2016, 03:34 PM

The wheels arrived today...Detroit steel (Mobsteel) did a great job, these things are beautiful! we've got to fit them, cut the rear end then off to powder coat!

**DPowers** · 08-24-2016, 04:32 PM

Moving it right along- they look great

**66ChevyMax** · 08-24-2016, 11:10 PM

Wheels are sweet!

The1960APE · 08-25-2016, 02:28 PM

Progress continues..... this is the fun part!

Did you have to modify any of the rear suspension to fit those wheels in? And where did you get your wheel tubs?

The Wheel tubs came from Horkeys wood and parts. We didn't have to modify anything besides the rear end, as a matter of fact it looks like I am going to be able to run up to a 345 or 355 tire!

The1960APE · 08-26-2016, 08:52 AM

I have been playing with the wheel finish, what do you guys think? This is pre clear coat!

**DPowers** · 08-26-2016, 03:02 PM

I Like. Will match your truck well.

62 Barnfind · 08-26-2016, 09:04 PM

I have been thinking about the same wheels. What size did you get?

The1960APE · 08-27-2016, 11:50 AM

After a little clear coat....

I got the tires mounted and wanted to get an idea of how they look on the truck, below is a little primitive mock up!

**66ChevyMax** · 08-29-2016, 03:58 PM

I think that looks perfect, nice job

The Mobsteel wheels have the three "dimples" or whatever the technical term is to hold the caps on like most steelies.
I am using a wheel vintiques center cap and it fits perfect!

The1960APE · 08-30-2016, 12:23 PM

Here's what they look like up front!

**DPowers** · 08-30-2016, 10:30 PM
