I was wondering that too.. I was looking at mine earlier and wondering How I could squeeze another inch or two out of the front bumper.

There are a few sets on EBAY for around $395 and 95 for shipping.. So $500.. Seems kinda high. I am gonna run up to Americas tires and see what they can do some time this week. Let me know what you find out.

some helpful info here.. There are some wheels you want to stay away from. Some of them don't have reinforced spokes (Nice long welds on back side instead of spot welded).. Also, If I'm not mistakin the direct bolt on ones look kinda cheesy. They do not look authentic like the originals from the 60s. Where the spokes connect to the wheel hoop and also the hub face center of the wheel doesn't look right. The casual observer wont know the difference but the hardcore hot rodder or lowrider guy will spot it..

I know summit sells the good ones.

I paid 600. for the ones on that gold 64 I posted above.
I didnt think 150 each for a quailty wheels was too bad.....
And that was 4 years ago.

Bird, if you want to see what they would look like on your truck, I can photochop them on for ya, just send me a couple decent sized pics of your truck.
