Pics of restored trucks with steelies and dog dish
I finally got my steelies, and real nice stainless dog dish hub caps. I'm planning on mounting bigger (maybe 33's) knobby tires and lifting around 3".
I'd like to see pictures of restored trucks with similar setup. |

I have restored steelies. Just haven't restored any trucks yet.

Six lug ,15 x 8 OEM with nubs for the hub caps. Plan on white powder coat but want to see other people pics before I lay down the cash.

Re: Pics of restored trucks with steelies and dog dish
Congrats on the steelies! I powder coated mine white... they've got 33's BFG A/Ts on them. Posting pics of the wheels - so you can see a white powder coated wheel. Since I don't have them on a truck... I will not post that pic (but you can view them on my burb in the galley, or I can post a pic). My burb has around a 3 inch lift.

Lookin' good Dougo!!!
Here are two of my 8 x 15 6-lug set for my '85 Jimmy: ![]() These are my 8.25 x 16.5s for my '72 K2500: ![]() These 9.75 x 16.5s I had powder coated in '91. They've only been dismounted a couple years...just an example how they hold up. These were on two different trucks and they would still clean up bright white: ![]() I have these for my '67 GMC project. They are dusty but very juicy red...8 x15: ![]() Here's a picture of an old truck I had them on: ![]()

Re: Pics of restored trucks with steelies and dog dish
Yes! Now that I look back through the chain of events, I see that you were the one that put me on the trail of these wheels! I got them from a great guy from Kansas City named Craig, who is a friend of 72IronMike. Thanks for hooking me up! It was a good deal and I met some really nice people along the way.

Re: Pics of restored trucks with steelies and dog dish
I had all my steelies blasted then painted. Powder coat is just too permanent for me, not that I would ever change em =)
Im talking about the ones on my K20, my old project K10 which is now a beautiful finished truck oldiron did up to perfection, and the ones for my panel ... my av picture.

Re: Pics of restored trucks with steelies and dog dish
Should be soon now. I'm in contact with powder coaters and expect to get that done pretty quickly. Now all I've got to do is find the dough for a set of knobby 33's (without the wife revolting).
