I like it how it is...just dont like the wheels...I think you should hunt some diff. wheels....i like the stance...but just me

[threeonthetree]

I'm with you on that. I don't like my wheels. 4 steelies would be better.

[oldblue1968chevy]

cant find any around, steelies (not rallies) should be easy to come accross i would think..check craigslist/classifieds, your backyard if ya gota barn lol..uhhyour local junkyard maybe

[threeonthetree]

Those kind of things dont really show up around my area on craigslist.
There is a set in my back yard but i want to put them on my blazer.
I have 6 but 4 have decent tires on them for my k5. so i really only need two more and tires.
6 bolt rims are hard to come by though or so it seems around my area.

junkyard it is.

[samwise68]

Really?

You must not know the right people then. Haha. Either that, or my family is just a bunch of pack rats...

-Sam.

[threeonthetree]

hah yeah
I guess I don't.
Seems like around Wausau no one likes this stuff. I never see old Chevys or parts for sale around here.
We would have more of this stuff but my old man always says what are gonna do with that? We got enough stuff on the yard. Like that 4x4 67 I should have got.

[threeonthetree]

ha
i put a want to buy add up on craigs you guys are right
i got 2 calls already and its been a hour only
prllly gonna get some soon.
most likely some rallies
im excited.

my dad likes the rims on my truck and doesnt get why i want to get rid of them... i just dont like them.
what do you guys think?

[oldblue1968chevy]

they dont match the era of the truck, neither do 20's but your wheels are just fugly, sorry lol you asked.

[threeonthetree]

Agreed! Ha
I have always hated the damn things.
What are you running oldblue?

[threeonthetree]

what era do you think there from like the 80's
i dont even know who put them on the truck i didnt
po had them on there when i got them. i thought they where kinda cool but now i just want them gone.

and some rallies in place.

[threeonthetree]

also rims soon to come im trading mine for some rallys and i might be getting some new tread.

[oldblue1968chevy]

i got a DA sander and 3/8 impact but no compressor for my shop lol ready for bodywork I guess..looks better with leters

[threeonthetree]

The Chevrolet.

[threeonthetree]

Got some rims for 125 with tires trim rings and 6 center caps.
gonna need some different ones that have a Chevy bow tie rather than 4x4
but look good overall.
what do you think>?

[oldblue1968chevy]

your pics are lil red boxes...maybe its just me lol are they rallys or steelies...whatever they are they gotta look better than your old wheels lol

[threeonthetree]

rallys
with trim rings and centers
and some white lettered Firestone's
looks nice!
idk why you cant see any pics?

[threeonthetree]

i was looking for the insert to these caps
does anybody know where you can get them cheaper than lmc at 107 for four.

And when did they change the board up?
i miss the 67 up in the corner.

hey oldblue try going to my photobucket. link.

[oldblue1968chevy]

I see it now...I was on my lil sis laptop looks GOOD tires look big!

try a junkyard, mine are aftermarket caps there just shiny were the 4x4 is can you paint or peel the sticker part off?

[threeonthetree]

Thanks
yea tires are big
but will work and hold air till i can buy some new ones.

I could peal the 4x4 thing off. I guess you can pop the insert out and put a different one in.

Yeah I saw some nice Chevy inserts ones for a 2wd at the junkyard.
Because I went to our local junkyard today and was looking for rally's the guy had some but wanted 25 a piece for them and they didn't have trim rings or centers. But he pointed out that he had some centers so I may go back for them.

Also asked him if he had any 67-72, sure enough he had some. a Gmc and a Chevy.
and a bunch of parts doors, Fender, hoods, and grills.
Couple things i saw that i liked where a decent fender for my driver side and a nice chrome bumper i may go back and get.
depending on how much they want....

[oldblue1968chevy]

Yeah, thats What I gave. 25 a pop for 15/8 with no caps/rings. needless to say I brought them back when I found a set for $100 already painted. Yeah the guy refunded my $. lol

[threeonthetree]

So I got a pretty good deal for them huh

[Palf70Step]

Try this as a cheap and nice (to me) alternative. Walmart spot mirrors and some clear RTV. I think when I did it I had about $15 total invested for 4 wheels. They will even cover the 4x4 front ones that have no backing for a sticker.

Oh yeah, your tire size look real good on your truck! Big, but I like!

[threeonthetree]

Thanks palf70step for the tip.
I'll have to check out my local wally world.
Tire size is real big haha.
These rims sure finished up the look. I just gotta paint them now cause po painted the black and its starting to wear off.
but here are some daytime pics. Other pic was from right after i put them on last night.


Im gonna put the other caps on the back that don't have a hole today.
