I dig those early Caddy caps too -

I have a set of early buick caps with bullets in the centers - Too deep a dish for the offset on my original wheels (which won't clear my disks without spacers anyway) and CAN'T make them work on the later rims I have on now!

Wall art for now.

Truck looks good!

Yeah, I bet! Those things are so damn deep, I was under the impression they wouldn't work on anything but a stock Cad wheel or something with a deep offset. I'd love to see how you made em work if you don't mind sharing

I love cheap mods too. I always try to do what I can with what I have. Which is why I ran '55 Buick wheel covers on my '75 GMC as long as I did!

My folks are driving out your way from NC today to visit my sister and her husband for the week in Edmond.
You should have let them pick it up for you and bring it back home! Thanks jcramsey. I wish we had the correct year hubcaps, but no such luck. They turned out pretty good though!

Re: How about some pics of Static dropped 60-66

1st pic is when I first bought my truck from my dad. 5" springs in the rear and 3" springs up front with 235/75/15s.

Just snapped a driveway shot of current stance. 3" springs up front with 2" spindles. 5" springs in the back with 2" blocks and a cpp c-notch, rolling on 215/70/15s

Heres my 64, cut two full coils from front springs and bump stops removed. Cut roughly 1.75 coils from the rear.
