Thanks! Those old original ET 5 window slots have some history actually. The rear ones were originally bolted on a '33 Willy's gasser that was drag raced through the PNW back in the 60's. They then found their way onto my Dad's 1970 CST/10 along with a pair of ET's for the fronts in 1974. Since his truck is a 6 lug, he ran these 5 luggers with adapters. He used them like that for about 5 years, but they stuck out of the wheel wells too far, so he pulled them and put a set of Western Wheels 5 window slots in 6 lug on his truck. He still has them on his rig to this day. The old ET's went out in the shop and sat until 2006 when I picked up my '72. They were a perfect fit, and an awesome hand me down for my rig.

All kidding aside, I am honored by your compliment.
