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 · 12-29-2009, 09:29 PM

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 · 12-29-2009, 09:39 PM

So I got a pretty good deal for them huh

**Palf70Step** · 12-29-2009, 11:12 PM

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 · 12-30-2009, 03:09 PM

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.

threeonthetree · 12-30-2009, 03:18 PM

here is a before and after...

oldblue1968chevy · 12-30-2009, 04:33 PM

palf, thats the caps I have lol walmart mirrors lol

threeonthetree · 12-30-2009, 10:23 PM

Walked out in the gardge to change the rear centers. Stunk of a perfuce oder. Walked around the front of her and saw a "leak". Smelling like dirty gas. I thought the feul pump broke turns out a gas line just broke thanks to dry rot. Got a new one in there lost a little bit of gas though. But had a nice fire to warm my hands up by.
Got one of the other centers on the back that don't have a hole, gonna do the other now.
Peace.

oldblue1968chevy · 12-31-2009, 01:07 AM

I have the Chance to trade my old chrome american racing rims for a set of 4 15x8 Steel rallies with trim rings and centers.
Would this be a good trade if i get my tires back.

oldblue1968chevy · 01-21-2010, 07:54 PM

oldblue1968chevy · 01-25-2010, 01:52 PM

anybody you close to like woodworking?

theres a pattern for the beds somewhere...if ya knew somebody liked wood working you could make a gorgeous wood bed for it

threeonthetree · 01-31-2010, 08:53 PM

I'm not planning on going with a wood bed. rots and is expensive... ect.
My dad has some scrap material laying in the yard that will work. I'm using it cause its FREE. Its called bdeck its for roofs, but you can walk on it. Its made of steel, i have more than enough to do the bed. It looks kinda like a stock bed sorta. I just have to dig it out of the snow bank. But i got my truck in the heated shop today and painted 2 of the wheels. Also had to work on the exhaust and i took the seat cover off.
Looking at gettin a 2.2L s10 with a five speed 2 door cab with a short box just a little pickup for my dd. but we will see.
here are some pics i took today.
My dad found some work for the timber jack so its gone and we rearranged the trucks so i could have the heated space for a week or 2.

Black on black

seat looks alright kinda ripped but not to bad

Again black rims.

threeonthetree · 02-01-2010, 02:42 PM

What I got done today
Bolted the grill in.
bumper is bolted on
tie rod end is finally in place.
