The truck originally came with the black lock ring wheels, and the white ones you see on the burb every once in a vintage picture I post. Those where the "Off road" wheels and tires, my Dad bought them from a neighbor who had a '69 K20 PU after he put slot mags on.

So, the slang around the house those days were. "whites" were off road noisy bias ply's, and the "blacks" where the highway tires for long trips pulling the trailer.

The truck has always had the Dana Spicer hubs, even to this day the original D44 closed knuck is still there.
