Re: “Castro” my new 72 build

I found one of my front wheels was bent so I decided to change it up a bit. I bought a new set of Billet Specialties Magnetos. The old Coys were starting to look bad, they were real old.

Re: “Castro” my new 72 build

The Magneto Wheels just were not doing it for me, I decided to try a set of 15" slot mags, bringing back the 70's. I love them.

Re: “Castro” my new 72 build

Again, way better with the 15" than the big rubber band ones.

Re: “Castro” my new 72 build

Just read through this entire build. What a beautiful truck this turned out to be, Ochre is my favorite color on them though. I could be biased because my first one was ochre. The slotted mags are a perfect fit!

No, I have a square body they may go on but if nothing else I'll keep them to change up the look if I want to.
