“Castro” my new 72 build - Page 9 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**GSFMECH** · 08-20-2022, 01:55 PM

I found one of my front wheels was bent so I decided to change it up a bit. I bought a new set of Billet Specialties Magnetos. The old Coys were starting to look bad, they were real old.

Very Nice Mike!!

**GSFMECH** · 08-20-2022, 03:45 PM

The Magneto Wheels just were not doing it for me, I decided to try a set of 15" slot mags, bringing back the 70's. I love them.

**clay68c10** · 01-19-2023, 02:07 PM

Slots!!! What a great look. I love the vintage wheels.
Just read the whole thread, cool build coming out of a total. I can relate.

bad6772 · 01-19-2023, 03:05 PM

This thing is awesome Kuddos, job well done

**Palf70Step** · 01-19-2023, 03:17 PM

Again, way better with the 15" than the big rubber band ones.

Bill, I have to agree with you, I knew you would like it. Man we need to get together and visit, it's been too long.

**Palf70Step** · 01-19-2023, 10:30 PM

4 sure

Thanks,

On the front it's 15 x 7" wheels with 235-60 and the rear is 15 x 9" wheels with 275-60 tires

Just read through this entire build. What a beautiful truck this turned out to be, Ochre is my favorite color on them though. I could be biased because my first one was ochre. The slotted mags are a perfect fit!

Are you planning on selling the magnetos?

No, I have a square body they may go on but if nothing else I'll keep them to change up the look if I want to.
