Re: 1968 C20 Build

So I bought my new tires: I totally caved and bought these 10 ply 235 85 16 Firestones. I had planned to use some old 265 70 16s off this 99 Tahoe I am scrapping, but I since I think I will be using this C20 to haul and work as a truck, I just want the piece of mind that comes with new tires.

It sure would be nice to find some 68 3/4 ton hubcaps. Extremely unlikely at a decent price, so I will just have to cross my fingers. I've been checking the parts board every day here for a "driver" quality set.

Since hubcaps are not in my near future I also sprung for these Gorilla brand black lug nuts. Its a good brand and the reviews say the paint doesn't chip. I've never used these before but I think I will prefer them over the chrome ones that insta-rust when you put a wrench on them.

I'm excited to get these on, probably this weekend.
