When I got the truck in the late 90's it still wore the factory split wheels and original caps which were pretty much hash. Since I was using the truck regularly, and almost nobody would service tires on those stupid wheels, I tossed 'em out. I picked up some later 16's and the earliest caps that would fit. I also like the look better. Those original 3/4 ton 1962 caps just scream DORK.
The truck is all-orig with the exception of the trans and rear gears. The orig trans was wiped-out and the 4.56 rear end was useless, so I put an O.D. trans and a 4.10 gear in it. Now, I can actually talk to my passengers without yelling at them.
I'll dig up some more pics soon.
