HI, I just thought it time to introduce myself. I am an old guy, been hot rodding off and on since 1961. My first ride was a 48 Ford club coupe with a 57 Ford 273 V 8. Too much torque for the transmission and drive line. It did keep me out of jail since I was always replacing something on the weekends. I won't try to list all the cars / motorcycles I have had over the years, but I do wish I had them back. My current project is a 52 Chevy 5 window pickup. I am rebuilding the front suspension and installing power disc brakes and power steering. I have a 406 small block Chevy with a 700 R4 and a Jones quick change rear end with wide 5 hubs and fat street tires. The pickup is in primer and will stay that way for now along with most of the body rust. It will be a home built hot rod, not a show car, not a rat rod ( whatever that is supposed to mean ). I do need front wheels. Anyone have a used set of 15" wheels with a 4 3/4" bold circle and 4", 4.5" or 5" wide rims?
