Re: 68 pro touring, auto cross c10 (mid life crisis)
i have nitto nt05 rear 315/20, front 275/19. the wheels i hope are forgeline zx3p's 20x11 and 19x9.5 with gunmetal centers with polished rims. should look cool on a black truck with all the stock trim.

Re: 68 pro touring, auto cross c10 (mid life crisis)
68 wheel from hartrod showed up just before lunch. couple hours and back out the door to the steering wheel guy in nc. shrunk the od. to 15 5/8". same as my late model. this will get bondoed up and used as a mold to pour a new one.

Man that thing is looking cool. I really like that cup idea you are doing with the rear suspension.

Re: 68 pro touring, auto cross c10 (mid life crisis)
Late model huh? Between all the brake/hub/rotor/suspension parts, I kinda figured....
So what class/series do you run? I've been racing for years, mostly IMCA dirt modifieds, but I ran the Southwest Tour in 07, USAC Western Sprints in 08. I've got a super late model for sale if you're interested ![]() Just curious. I like the "personality" of your build! |

Re: 68 pro touring, auto cross c10 (mid life crisis)
Great idea. I like the look of the older steering wheels but don't care for the school bus diameter they have. Keep up the great work.
