    Anyone got some pics of cool custom trucks with blackwalls?
    I'm torn right now between radial wide whites and bias ply blackwalls.
    Thanks.

    This was my buddy Andy's truck. Looks good with blacks. I like both though. If youre going with no fenders dont go radial. Just dosent look right...

    Hey doc, those are some good looking wheels. The black rim and baby moon with the bias looks real nice. Kinda leaning that direction.
    Keep the pics coming.
    Thanks.

    I'd be choosing between WW bias (because they're cheaper than radials and less fussy) and BW radials (because they work better than bias and are cheaper than WWs).

    whitewalls on a truck is like wearing a skirt to a football game. You won't get arrested but it might be hard to find anyone to talk to.:D (not that there's anything wrong with that:D)

    Oh yeah...watch out for huge beer cans that fall from the sky.:eek:

    Very few custom trucks in the fifties ran blackwalls. Almost all rods or customs back then ran whitewalls. Usually the only time you ran a blackwall was when you had a flat and the only thing that you had was a scrubby old blackwall spare. The first blackwalls that I remember on a custom truck was a 37 sectioned pickup out of the old Valley Customs. Everybody wanted to have the new narrower whitewall.

    I'd do an L78-15 WW but, I can't.
    1. Because of scrub line
    2. Because I have 8 lugs

    I'm leaning towards a Denman 8.75 - 16.5 blackwall bias with chrome caps.
