Straight truck! DON"T JUNK THOSE WHEELS!! Those jelly bean mags are getting harder and harder to find, especially in 8 lug. If I had an 8 lug to put them on, I would buy them from you...

Well were in Ca are you . My friend has a set from an 89 burb sitting in his drivway with tires on them even and they are 16" and not 16.5 so tires are cheaper. They are in San Francisco.

Im in Ventura county just a few min north of LA. I might be in San Fran on Sat. Were going to tahoe thursady-sat. then might go to san fran and work our way down the coast.
how much does he want for them? got a pic?

**Chevy Fleetside** · 08-19-2008, 08:13 PM

You can have them..

munchieu · 08-19-2008, 08:17 PM

Talk about good timing. huh!

scotts62 · 08-19-2008, 08:19 PM

Sweet! nice find man

CG · 08-19-2008, 08:34 PM

From your pics those mags look to be a nice width. Most of the ones you see in 8 lugs are at least 10 inches wide. A lot of people prefer ones that are a bit narrower.

Also I dig that air con unit...very cool looking. Does it work?

the a/c dont work yet, but it will. the pump is sitting on the pass floor board. everything is there.have no idea why its out. maybe it froze. maybe it didnt cool anymore so they just pulled it off.

MacAttack · 08-20-2008, 11:19 AM

Great find!

The A/C console is really neat - lots of style.

Mac.

justcuz · 08-20-2008, 04:48 PM

Let us know about the mags your taking off. Are they 16.5 wheels? They look to be 8.25 x 16.5 wheels which are used for 10.00 x 16.5 tires, am I correct?

munchieu · 08-20-2008, 05:45 PM

the wheels are 16.5. the tires are 9.50x16.5 and they are 8 luggers

66chevy PROSTREET · 08-20-2008, 06:04 PM

what motor is in there?, and where is the second tank located

i think its the 292 6 banger. that will change. the 2nd tank is behind the cab in front of the wheel well under the bed driver side. the 3rd tank is in the same position on pass side of truck.
3 tanks aboard that bad boy. for now anyways.

TimE · 08-20-2008, 06:24 PM

Wow! If you filled that truck up with gas it would cost a small fortune. It's a cool option though.

prob, i have not put gas in it yet. i have no idea on what size the saddle tanks are. 15-20 gal each?

66chevy PROSTREET · 08-20-2008, 06:40 PM

those 292's make good power, and they make alot of after market parts for them. they make alot of torque.

munchieu · 08-22-2008, 03:06 PM

that motor will be in it for a while. not sure what I'm gona run in the future, but it will be fuel injected

**Chevy Fleetside** · 08-22-2008, 11:14 PM

I have those wheels in my truck right now.

munchieu · 08-22-2008, 11:21 PM

**Chevy Fleetside** · 08-22-2008, 11:49 PM

ok.. I might be in my bicycle so I might not get to the phone fast enough so just leave a message.

**Chevy Fleetside** · 08-27-2008, 09:56 AM

We wanna see pictures of the truck with the steel wheels when you get to it. It was cool meeting you and I hope you had a good time in the City where ever you two went.

munchieu · 08-27-2008, 11:17 AM

Thanks again for the wheels!!!! I just need to get off my lazy ass and break them down and paint them. Have not decieded what color yet. Orange, Green or Red. Prob gona be red. We didn't stick around San Fran. We headed straight to Santa Cruz and stayed the night and hung out on the boardwalk.
