Wheel Swap..
So my 68 is going on tour with drag week because it has a Gear Vendor overdrive in it and our shop is a dealer... The problem is with the 18's and 20's it wouldn't fit in our trailer.. To wide for the first floor and too tall for the second floor... To make it happen I swapped the 15" steelies off of my 64 and kinda like both trucks with the swap!! What do you think?? Here are some before and after pics..

Re: Wheel Swap..
the 68 looks rad with the steelies, dont care for the chrome wheels on the 64. Either way 2 sweet trucks. I take it the 64 is still for sale....

Re: Wheel Swap..
I am digging it.... But I will say that the 64 looks good with the chrome, better than the 68 does with the steelies.

Re: Wheel Swap..
steelies look good on both, the 'rimz' dont look as good on the 64 as they do the 68
either way you have some SICK trucks, I saw the 64 @ Nashville GG! You werent around but I still admired/took pictures
