Either way its a bad ass looking truck. I dig it big time, but I second a set of more period correct wheels.
I just bought some 15x7 bare metal Artillery wheels. I've always likes the way they look and found a pretty good price on them. One question. Say I wanted to go to a lancer wheel cover. Would they work on those wheels. If not I'm good with it.
Whatever you decide, dont let the d'bags on here give you any carp about the paint. I like it just the way it is......
I like your truck, I would go stock 15" with an original style cap. The rims look great on your truck they just don't fit the look your going for. I was wanting to run that style wheel on a '53 I am building, What size/brand are they?
Thanks guys. They are boss 338's 20x10 in the rear and 8x8 in the front. Tires are 275/40/20 and 245/35/18. I'm getting my artillery wheels powdercoated red tomorrow and going to grind out some whitewalls this weekend.
Ive got some chrome caps and trim rings coming tomorrow. Just mounted the 215/75R15 goodyears with 3" whitewall tonight. I'm so ready to get them on the truck.
So says the FNG...Oh, and I wouldnt take any carp either. They arent good eating, and after they sit around for a while they stink.
What? Time? I would not eat, sleep or shit if I those ready to go. Dont forget pics when they are on dammit...
I know. It's killing me too. I've been working 12-16 hr days this week and then have to play dad to a 2 and 4 year old.
Funny how these guys show up,,no intro,,very few post any call us d'bags,,what ever that is. I like the new wheels! HRP
Oh well, guess it's better than a Carp bag. I like the truck, patina, paint, no paint, I like the truck. Lippy btw, I like the truck.
\\\\\\\\\\\dare to be different, 60's style slots or ARE's with a rubber rake. whitewall piecrusts or plain black. A totally personal choice your truck do as you wish and remember the "Rules"
WOW!! That is so damn cool I can hardly stand it!!! Off to find some artillery wheels for my hooptie right this second... Nice house too BTW...
Here are some ideas of what I did with my 59. I have the wide whites mounted on polished Radirs on it now.
i think i would say the artillery's for that year truck too. Ol dawg all three of those pics looks bitchin !! nice truck.
Nice job on the Artillaries and tires...but a little too 'Barnum & Bailey' for me. I would have seriously done some 6-lug centers inside some 7" rear hoops, and some 6" fronts, inset (that 'reversed' deep look) and stock Chevy p/u center caps. Gives that 'husky' appearance best for older trucks. Early porky pickups with small whitewall tires on stock skinny wheels look like fat San Francisco faggots in white tennie loafers.
Stock 16" with 6.0x16 Firestone bias plies Could not find a picture of San fransisco faggots in tennie loafers so I guess thats what they look like.
