Anyone got some pics of cool custom trucks with blackwalls? I'm torn right now between radial wide whites and bias ply blackwalls. Thanks. -David
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...
Here is my 63 Ford with blackwalls, only cause i cant afford whitewalls, and i have beauty rings on it now
Its actaully just a picture of my truck from anothe guys cardomain site. He has a bunch of pictures from a show here in edmonton. I can still get you the link but that is the only picture of my truck on it
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. (not that there's anything wrong with that) Oh yeah...watch out for huge beer cans that fall from the sky.
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.
My ol' Model A,,,,,,,picture taken in the early 70's,,,,at that time most HOT RODs had blackwall tires,,HRP
That was a roadster pu i almost bought off E bay that i missed out on. It was in the state of Oregon now it went to LA.
OK, so anyone got a source for an 8 lug wheel that looks like this or close to it? http://img390.imageshack.us/img390/4843/coolwheel6wy.jpg
