Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Trucks
Here are a few picks of my 1972 3/4 ton Cheyenne 4x4. It has a BB 454 w/ Holly 750 carb, Edelbrock manifold, Hooker headers, trans. oil cooler, B&M shift kit in tranny, Dana 60 rear end, dual batteries, 6" spring lift w/Weld rims, BFG All Terrains and alarm system. Interior has factory bucket seats and console, power steering, factory a/c, Cheyenne woodgrain door trim and Pioneer c/d player w/amp. It has been about a 4 year project.

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Trucks
this my graduation gift i got last year this is what it looked like when i got it the one on the bottom is what it looks like now a 1970 Chevrolet C/10 Fleetside Longbed with a 307 v8 and a 350 th tranny manual brakes and steering am radio no ac we got it from a guy who said it was in the movie Yes Man the movie company paid him like 200 dollars to drive it 2 blocks and park it but it wasnt in the final production when i got it the brakes didnt work nor did the radio but its a good project for me now its stripped to the bare frame and im prepping the frame for sandblasting and paint it was red but i want it blue so im not skipping on anything im doing it right this time so if i ever sell it no one has to ever fix it up again

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Trucks
If you need a nudge......that truck looks but the wheels look a little out of place. I am only saying this because you said you might need to do some trading. If you are like me....little things like that can kinda irk me until I take action but it's a great looking truck and would look EVEN BETTER with perhaps a more period correct wheel. Nice though.

"would look EVEN BETTER with perhaps a more period correct wheel"...
I'll second that and take it a step further and say - those wheels are awful, invest in some intro wheels and watch this truck look awesome!! |

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Trucks
Yeah, I know. It's pretty bad when the seller is knocking them even before you buy the truck. He said the owner before him paid $5000 plus tires for them. I'm looking at some 17" rallies this weekend.
BTW, I can't believe the 295/30/22 tires all the way around don't rub. Last edited by 95light; 07-17-2009 at 11:21 AM. |

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Trucks
They look bad to us (who posted so far) but might be perfect for someone else. Post 'em up on C/L and they could be money down on a set of billet wheels or something more visually pleasing. Not saying you should follow the crowd but generally the guys (and/or girl or two) on this board have similar tastes. Nice find.

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Trucks
All personal tastes aside - those are ugly wheels and I feel sorry for the guy who paid $5k for them!!...

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Trucks
Or they could be perfect for someone on this board. I have seen many on here with similar wheels. Pay the $25 and become a site supporter and post 'em up. Ya never know.

Just make sure and look at it on the bright side. I would much rather have that truck with those wheels that might need to go than a killer set of wheels on a turd. Make sense? Can't believe those are 22's! Dang...... I like my tires like safe s*x...........lots of rubber!!!! lol |

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Trucks
I like them 22" wheels... they'd look good on my black truck i think! I'm looking for some chrome to shine with the black.

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Trucks
here's my current shop truck/junk hauler that was built with the best parts from 3 junkers. it's been finished 9 yrs now & has spent that time outside in the weather. it's got a few "boo-boo's" but still holding up well considering...

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Trucks
Hey Rodshop,
That's the steering wheel out of a '55 Chevy car, right? But is it on a '55 steering column too? I am seeing it on my phone but the PRNDL looks like it. |

correct, it is a 55 belair wheel center grafted into a 15" corvair outer ring. the column is a stock 71 GMC. the wheel bolts right on, no problem. i've got pics of the "wheel surgery" if anyone is interested in doing this. i have about $75 total in the wheel, sure beats $250 for the downsized repop! |

Maybe it should be its own thread though? I mean because if someone is later doing a search for "Steering Wheels Ideas" or some such, they would never find it in this thread. So put "Steering Wheel" in your thread title. BTW, "downsized repop"? Who makes one? I assume it's a down size of the Belair wheel you're talking about not a down size of a '67-'72 truck wheel, right? Last edited by Dan in Pasadena; 07-22-2009 at 10:10 AM. |

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Trucks
dan,
i'll post up a thread later with the steering wheel pics. here is a link to the repop belair wheel pictured next to an 18" original. one thing i didn't like about the repop is the way they downsized the whole wheel to scale. being a custom car & bike builder, i'm very anal about lines & details & just didn't like the small center & horn ring. in person, it looked more like a toy to me. http://www.classicchevy.com/product....dept%5Fid=1714 check out the *note* on the link. $339 for a wheel listed as "fair" quality, not "show" quality ...
