I'm not sure hgs. You might want to give Lokar a call. I know they offer a 36" one also.

Rob, I think that you ahve done such an great job on this truck so far, , it to me is what hot rodding is aboutm, getting dirty and doing what you have to do to make her run!!

big_al_71 · 02-13-2010, 11:48 AM

+1 on the lokar products..Rob I used one in my truck when I built mine as well as the shifter rod, oil dip stick and tranny dip stick..

gcburdic · 02-13-2010, 07:56 PM

Maybe they'll give me a job, I'm not having much luck anywhere else,

.

OK, well my small pedal project project has turned into an engine compartment "remodel". I've wanted to move some stuff around for a while, I guess now is as good of time as any....

my67chevytruck · 02-15-2010, 11:59 AM

Thanks! I've finally got everything back together, but I'm still playing with my pedal setup. I also ordered an all new fuel setup that should be able to handle the demand of the S/C. I should have that installed by next week. Also, I had these wheels "laying around" and thought I would bolt them on to see how they look. What da ya think????

**lolife99** · 02-25-2010, 05:13 PM

I like the wheels!
Even though I think the grey centered version would fit that truck better.
(Time to place another order,...)

Your probably right, hard choice though. I'm suprised they bolted right up. I thought the hubs would have needed to be ground..... I would put another order in, but I'm worried that they won't get it right.....

Sparkplug79 · 02-25-2010, 05:35 PM

Do they make those wheels wide enough to fill out those rear fender wells?

They do offer some wide ones, but..... only offer them w/back-spacing set-up for narrowed rear ends. That's the downfall on cheaper wheels (very limited BS selection).

Those don't look too bad. The steelies look better though

.

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 02-25-2010, 06:18 PM

Put the steelies back on....

big_al_71 · 02-25-2010, 06:28 PM

love the look of the coys on there, but of course I am bias...

djracer · 02-25-2010, 09:27 PM

I had some pretty stuff on my porch when I got home from work.

I like the wheels but I like the steelies on that truck better and I loved the old school welds ya had on it..

I know what you're saying. There's just to many choices! Here's a comparison of tires. Definitely a difference, but the Coys/BFGs have a 12" tread width. I thinking I'm leaning towards the grey ones instead of the polished ones....

big_al_71 · 02-26-2010, 06:04 PM

Rob for the price Coys are the BEST cheap good wheels out.....

Alan's Classic · 03-04-2010, 01:06 AM

Yep, I subscribed. Nice work

**lolife99** · 02-26-2010, 03:20 PM

Man, Rob,... The Coys fit good!
You must have a 71-72 rearend under it.
Now just come down another inch in the rear.
Or,... maybe just throw a bag on the rear for "cough" adjustability.
(You know,... incase you have to haul something heavy)

CheyenneShop · 02-26-2010, 04:45 PM

Rob, I too love the Coy's - now lets see them on the Superburb, since they were just "laying around"!

LOW DOUGH · 02-26-2010, 04:58 PM

Well, it looks good with the Coys but I don't think it looks right. I guess I am used to seeing the Welds or Rallies on it. I just got four 7" Rallies. I gave two to a buddy and I am going to put the other two on the front of mine. They were free to me.

To do fit really well. I would probably go with a 5" backspacing instead of the 5.5". Great suggestions and probably the reason I won't change, one thing keeps leading to another......

I know what you're saying. I keep changing my mind....

CheyenneShop · 02-26-2010, 05:50 PM

Yes it will! I think it looks great. Do you like it, or you still thinking Billit Specialties?

SuperBurb is SuperBad!!
