I see you are running the new caps. What did you use for lug nuts? I did this on a 5 lug wheel with 1/2" Astro van nuts, but 6 lug are 7/16.

Looks great!

The lug nuts are used swap meet chrome acorn 7/16 nuts, think I paid $5 for the set of 20, one wheel has different style nuts but who notices ? The six lug caps are really getting hard to find cheap, I'm actually looking for a set of Chevy caps to replace the GMC caps on the white truck.

How are you holding the cap on without the dual threaded nuts?

I have a set of old rally wheels on the front of mine. I have a pair for the back without tires. they might be too wide. They look to be 10 inches wide or so. When I get my truck back from the shop tomorrow I'm getting some tires and will see if they fit. If not I will take off the wheel tubs and check then. They are in really good shape and should sell fast whenI get to the 5 lug conversion next year. Heres a pic of the fronts.

Is there any alternative for center caps on the early 4wd rally's? I would rather not run any than those large centers.

Re: six lug rims whatcha got?
 
A buddy of mine did a frame off restoration on a 66 C20 and went with factory 16" 8 lug alloy rims. They look great on the truck. Sorry for the lack of quality. Used screen caps but hopefully you get the idea.

Hard to see but I use 90s Chevy center caps on the older rallys

I went to a small swap meet last sunday and bought a set of 80's 4x4 rallys for $10 each. Guy said he had more at home. Don't know if I will use them, but for that price, I couldn't pass them up. HA.

still need to spend a bazillion hours sanding and polishing. I'm thinking of polishing the outer lip and drop edge then aggressively blasting the dished area and the cone cover painting both a darker cast gray leaving the lips and the tri bar shiney--what do you think?

Newfisher,
I have a set of those slots. They are from a 70's Wagoneer IIRC. The tri-bar and tower are Gorilla brand. I have a set of those on my classic car. Soooooo . . . . I want to know, Where did you get the cone cover? Aluminum or steel or stainless?

truckeroy 03-07-2014 09:38 PM

Re: six lug rims whatcha got?
 
Pretty Slick! Way to think outside the box.

NEWFISHER 03-07-2014 10:22 PM

Re: six lug rims whatcha got?

The cone covers are from the 80's and are aluminum. You used to be able to order them through the wheel suppliers like Gorrilla Industries. They stopped appearing in the books a few years ago, maybe someone has some old stock? I found these ata buddies place and tried to find a few more sets to do this to the 5 slots, kind of like a modern day version and take a few sets to the swap meet, but I haven't had any luck finding the cones.

Mixing old school and modern center caps. Here's an idea.

The Chevy Colorado with a factory steel wheel uses a center cap that presses onto the 6 lug nuts. Here's a pic of a Colorado wheel without the cap and a cap picture I stole off of eBay. It might look weird on a slot, but then again it might look good. I have not tried it to see.

New 20s on the front for now, Ill run red rims with caps and rings about half the time, and switch to the newer 20s for an occasional change,
