Did it with my '283' V-8: Just had to re-drill mount holes for existing cross member and lengthen the front drive shaft about 1.2 inches. No biggie.

The first pic looks awesome (not that the others don't too).

*CWT* · 08-03-2009, 12:43 PM

What size tire are you running? And brand?

gostranger · 08-03-2009, 01:15 PM

Nailz · 08-03-2009, 02:01 PM

Sick! Simple and totally cool...
Yeah, what size tire and whitewall is that?...good combo for sure

glendale · 08-03-2009, 03:19 PM

the whites are shaved i'll get size later today.

*CWT* · 08-03-2009, 03:20 PM

You mean you took a white letter tire and made those?

glendale · 08-03-2009, 03:28 PM

yea some tire shops can do it for you. i'll dig up some tech threads from the hamb it's pretty easy to do.

*CWT* · 08-03-2009, 03:30 PM

Yeah ive done it before. Truck looks good man.

forestb · 08-03-2009, 03:39 PM

Even though he has done it before I would like to see the tech thread on the tiers.

glendale · 08-03-2009, 03:40 PM

YouTube - Make your own Wide White Wall tires

http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/s...tech&showall=1

**ChiefRocka** · 08-03-2009, 03:54 PM

Yeap...thats how it works....There is a continuous band of 'white' under the black.

My elderly mother used to make them.....only the right side of her car would have them though....

BTW....Glendale...SWEET A$$ truck man....Welcome aboard from San Jose

You also have a lathe do it too....

terd ferguson · 08-03-2009, 03:57 PM

I know all white letter tires have the wide white strip. But I wonder if blackwall tires have the same white underneath? I mean, do they make ALL tires with white underneath? Or just whitewalls/white letters?

6doggie3 · 08-03-2009, 10:24 PM

gulfcoast66 · 08-04-2009, 11:05 AM

Sweet truck man! thanks for the wide white wall video..... Chris

**TR65** · 08-04-2009, 10:46 PM

Hey Terd,

Only white letter tires (and white wall of course) have the white rubber. It is expensive so it is only used for the white letters.

**Corts60** · 08-04-2009, 10:57 PM

I never knew about that white wall trick. That is awesome! Beautiful truck, I love all the white.
