New wheel tire combo ready to mount (skinny tires + big block)
In my thread here, http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=763360, I was looking for input to get a stock hubcap looking setup for my C10.
I tracked down some original hubcaps on Ebay, found some 15x7" wheels at Scott's Supertrucks, Alberta, and ordered the Cooper Trendsetter tires. The wheels were painted red, so I sanded the paint off, and spray painted primer, white paint, and clear coat. The tire mounting shop nicked the painted lip up during the tire installation, so I had to do some paint touch ups. I'm not going to the hassle or cost of powder coating the wheels like I've seen others do. https://i.imgur.com/mxKtZHnh.jpg https://i.imgur.com/SKAHatJh.jpg?1 Nothing fancy https://i.imgur.com/82LG9Hvh.jpg Primer https://i.imgur.com/H08nSvAh.jpg Waiting for the paint to dry, went sledding in British Colombia (iPhone photos). https://i.imgur.com/NOgk1t9h.jpg https://i.imgur.com/pKqjz15h.jpg Tires https://i.imgur.com/PTTATRkh.jpg Mounted with hubcaps https://i.imgur.com/xlkflTdh.jpg https://i.imgur.com/aAIqxy3h.jpg Can use a little polish https://i.imgur.com/dbkiERnh.jpg Next, mount 'em on the truck. What a build up with no pics on the truck, eh?! I'll get them on an update with a photo. |

Man that looks awesome! You guys are above the clouds, bet it was a blast. And ya, get some pics of the truck

Looks like a blast. I raced dirt bikes for years. Sleds are so forgiving compared to a bike, like being on the water. We carved up the deep woods of northern Michigan in my youth before I moved out west(bikes in the summer, sleds in the winter). My '91 KTM 250 still sits in my garage pissed at me cuz Im not 25 anymore

Great wheel/tire/po1 combo - can’t wait to see it on the truck.

Re: New wheel tire combo ready to mount (skinny tires + big block)
That would be just simply awesome!

Re: New wheel tire combo ready to mount (skinny tires + big block)

Re: New wheel tire combo ready to mount (skinny tires + big block)
This reminds me........I've got a set of 15x7 white steelies sitting in a storage building under some junk. I wonder if I still have caps for them??

I'm in the process of putting my NOS wheel covers and 7" wheels and white walls on my truck.

15 x 7 rallys painted white with P01's but no white walls which would I'm sure enhance the look of my truck..

Re: New wheel tire combo ready to mount (skinny tires + big block)
Wow. Loved your truck before. Now it’s next level goodness.

Re: New wheel tire combo ready to mount (skinny tires + big block)
Man that truck looks tight! Nice work.
|
Re: New wheel tire combo ready to mount (skinny tires + big block)
Can't believe you made that truck look even better - that looks perfect!

Re: New wheel tire combo ready to mount (skinny tires + big block)
Absolutely love the look of the whitewalls and the original P01's.....damn near perfect, nicely done.
As for the sled/mountain/B.C pics.....unbelievable....as usual. Living near the Alberta/BC border is a gift from God....lol. Out here on the coast the mountain line is pretty much always green ....but the winter sports element is such a great thing...Sleds, Skates, Ski's.....nice going eh?...lol All good Coley |

Po1s are the best. That truck is serious eye candy.
