Re: 70' C10 Work Truck

Ok, so you saw the preview of the work truck with the 20s on it but the hubs were sticking out so far that I couldn't really get the lug nuts on. Last night I started grinding down the passenger hub and after about 3 hours of steel sculpting I was able to mount the wheel. Overall I am pleased with the how it came out. I am going to do some finish work and clean and paint the hubs when I get new tires. Here are a few pics showing the process of grinding down the hub. I put the lug nuts on the studs to prevent damage to the threads. That was probably my wisest decision ever. The lug nuts look like they went through a blender and I am so glad that I have zero damage to the threads (thus far).
