The great thing about old trucks is you can fix it like YOU want, not how the guy at the show wants, the guy at work wants or how the kid at McDonalds wants. I am planning on putting a set of 17x8 Ansens on my latest project, a 72 sbw step if I ever get that far, but I am not looking forward to $165 a piece! If I can find some used 15 x 8's for about half that, I will "settle" for 15's. I am going for the mid 70's vibe on it with M/T valvecovers on the 350, a Sun Super Tach II attached to the column with a hose clamp, a barefoor gas pedal and foam grip 10" Cal Custon steering wheel in addition to the mags. I already have the tach VC's and wheel, just need the mags. Why this kinda build? Cause I like it.
