Re: 1960 GMC Suburban

OK..so I only had 3 of the original 4 rims. Kept looking for a replacement and kept looking around my dad's place for the 4th rim.

Yesterday a thought crossed my mind about an old little flag pole that my dad had in front of his house. He used a rim and some concrete. I asked him what ever happened to that rim after he built the big flag pole. He stated that it was "still out there" just a "little buried".

Well, out came the shovel and a pick axe. Guess what. Found the fourth rim. In pretty good condition. Probably need to remove some of the concrete to balance the tire.

If my wife knew I was "digging out rims" instead of working....well...let's just keep it our lil secret. Still the original color !

The last picture is of one of the rims on the Burb.
