The wheels are Cragar Nomad ll's from Summit Racing. 15x10 on the rear and 15x8 on the front. The tires, also from Summit, are 295/50/15 and 255/60/15. I'm gonna go with something a little taller next time though.

I'll get a better shot of the side this weekend.

Somebody told him the back ones were gonna be too short, but the jury hasn't found a verdict on that case yet.

Looks good man! Keep it going. Kind of like a snowball effect!

Thanks! It's getting that way already. Santy Claus showed up the other day in his big brown sleigh wearing a UPS uniform but I know who it REALLY was.

Not having any luck with the JVC shaft mount stereo though. It seemed to work ok on the test bench but when I put it in the truck it was "no go". I may have to look for another one.

All 4 are too short. They'd look better on a chevelle. I'll have to see how fast I can burn em off to get some taller ones.

*highperf4x4* · 05-03-2009, 11:25 PM

Got the new driver's side window regulator installed.

New diverter balls and center a/c vent

New defroster vents and dashpad installed

allen123 · 05-04-2009, 05:15 PM

Lookin good man
cant wait to see it at the meet

*highperf4x4* · 05-04-2009, 06:07 PM

Thx, I'm looking forward to getting there

And john, it was the outside that I'm not going to mess with for a while!

JohnC · 05-04-2009, 06:50 PM

Uh huh! Wait til after the meet, and you will be wanting to paint it. You won't want the "Patina" look anymore!

*highperf4x4* · 05-04-2009, 10:40 PM

I know that's right, I'm gonna hide my truck in the trees and walk the rest of the way to the good trucks.

And just for the record, it's the boy that's lookin for a Patina truck, not me!

I'll get to repairing the floorboards, cab corners and painting it later. Gotta get the important stuff out of the way first like a stereo!!

Speaking of stereos, that 4 channel JVC I had such high hopes for let me down. Tuner wouldn't pick up anything worth a flip. Had to go with an old Pioneer Supertuner3. I guess it will work but it's only 2 channels and not as powerful either.

*highperf4x4* · 05-04-2009, 10:41 PM

And....... who wants to give me a good deal on a cool seat????

Hoffman65burb · 05-09-2009, 01:55 AM

wow those guages looks sick! how much did that run you if you dont mind me asking?

OARNGESI · 05-09-2009, 01:56 AM

Those gauges look really good

*highperf4x4* · 05-09-2009, 03:03 AM

Thanks! The gauge panel was about 200.00 shipped on ebay. A man named Edd Dial rebuilds them and puts the white vinyl on the gauges, new lens, new bezel and he gaurantees them. He'll also give you 25.00 for your old panel. Tell him Travis sent you if you order one.

JohnC · 05-09-2009, 08:29 AM

Oh yeah those gauges are sweet! Looks good man!

*highperf4x4* · 05-09-2009, 12:06 PM

Thanks!

I'm going to cruise it up to Scott's after while without any mirrors. You think I"ll get pulled over?

JohnC · 05-09-2009, 04:13 PM

Nah most cops aren't that worried about mirrors. Besides just push it to the floor and let fate take over!

gauges look awesome

*highperf4x4* · 05-09-2009, 08:46 PM

Thanks, and before someone teases me about the pink dash lights, let me just say that they only look that way in the pic!!

You can order the panel with several different color bulbs and I ordered mine with the purple bulbs. They're actually a maroon color when you turn them on. I don't know why they look pink in the pics.

JohnC · 05-10-2009, 03:24 PM

It's ok to be in touch with your femine side!
