  1. This is my Model A truck I built. Here is the build thread here on it:

    http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=540287

    I want to lower the front end a little bit and was going to replace the 6.00-16's on the front with 5.00-16's. But first I thought I would use what I have to save some cash. I have 4) 7.10-15's that lower the truck 1/2" up front. I am going to mount them on 50 Merc rims. Should I use Black wall or White wall? The truck is a 50's style build. 42 Merc flathead, 39 trans 40 banjo rear, I use it to push my Fiat drag car.

    Unless you're going to do fancy paint, I'd do blackwalls.

    I like it both ways, but gotta have caps either way. If there's no option of hubcaps with the wide whites, then I'll say blackwalls with caps.

    Trucks are supposed to have blackwalls in my opinion. I dig the hubcaps on it myself, kinda finishes off the look with the fenders.

    Black walls with caps looks "finished". I'm not much of a fan of white walls, especially on a truck. Kind off loses the all business look that suits it, just like the Fiat.:D

    I vote black no caps. If you freshened up the paint job then I would say with caps.
    Truck looks great how it is though.

    Black walls with caps. The truck is wayyyyyyyyyyy cool, but it is a truck. Us working guys just don't wear white Buck shoes.
