Man, I was going to compliment, once again, Demain5's truck, but scrolled down, saw the next and wanted to add his, then the next and the next, and that's when I decided to say, "There sure are some nice trucks in this thread. Just can't beat good old factory center steel wheels. Stock, wide, white, black, whatever!"

Thanks for the appreciation. You obviously knw trucks.That rack was the third set I made and most refined design. I originally made it in '89 for an '84 K30. I guess these years saw the last of the Bartens bumpers. The truck came from CA and was set up with a 5th wheel, hoist for the platter, to pull a big travel trailer. So, trans was built tough, big aux cooler, trans temp gauge, and he had a vacuum tuning gauge mounted to read while driving. A great idea. Amazing how you can let off and run the same speed to draw a greater air to fuel mix. This one's my keeper 3/4t 4wd.
Did I ever show the K/10 I restored in the mid-90s?
