    I have a good stock 49 center cap and cap emblem you can have . The rest of my stock wheel is real bad . Call Dennis and ask him about a recast for your wheel . The price will depend on the wheel . I was going to say , You can sometimes find real nice stock wheels at auction for much less . But this thing turned out perfect .
     
  16. You could just send it to me for safe keeping until you are ready for it again. :D

    Looks great! I have one that needs recast, but I have a gm column in mine at the moment and the accessory wheel doesn't fit it. So, I gotta get that sorted out before I can chunk the wheel in there and I haven't been in a hurry to send it off. Love the job they did on yours....I'll keep them in mind.

    Thanks , I'm real happy with it ,,,They can swap your wheel hub to fit your column ,, If thats what your after .
     
  18. hmmmmm......now you got me thinking. I like having a tilt column, even though the one I have stinks. I have a stock column and have been kicking around trying to put it in and get it to work with the 700r4 trans. Sounds like the easy way out is a new tilt column and change the hub on the wheel when they recast it. My wife is gonna hate you when I tell her I need a grand or so. :D

    If anyone knows of something nice, and wants to help a brutha out PM me:D
