i have nitto nt05 rear 315/20, front 275/19. the wheels i hope are forgeline zx3p's 20x11 and 19x9.5 with gunmetal centers with polished rims. should look cool on a black truck with all the stock trim.

n2billet, thanks! those pics kept me up all night. i was toying with baby blue and white but black looks tough. and i did the blue and white thing a couple years ago on a bike.

**72k5zl1** · 02-20-2011, 09:06 PM

here was the other combo i was going to use. my buddies busted on me when i told them what color i was using. they were not picking anymore when it was done.

My wife will not let me near bikes anymore.......it seems when I throw my leg across the seat I turn into a different person.......or it could be the time I laid down and ended up in the hosiptal for 5 days....

I could stand and look at the bike for hours.....

**72k5zl1** · 03-10-2011, 04:31 PM

68 wheel from hartrod showed up just before lunch. couple hours and back out the door to the steering wheel guy in nc. shrunk the od. to 15 5/8". same as my late model. this will get bondoed up and used as a mold to pour a new one.

**67cheby** · 03-10-2011, 04:33 PM

WOW...how cool is that

**72k5zl1** · 03-10-2011, 04:34 PM

Ya what he said !!! well i think if you are going to produce them , they will be a big hit !!! nice work as usual

**72k5zl1** · 03-10-2011, 04:39 PM

thanks! they are spendy!!!! have to talk to my guy when he is done with the first one.

VA72C10 · 03-10-2011, 04:39 PM

Once you get it done are you going to have multiples made?

Seems like a vendor opportunity

well...my question was answered...

HulkSmash · 03-10-2011, 04:41 PM

Man that thing is looking cool. I really like that cup idea you are doing with the rear suspension.

**72k5zl1** · 03-10-2011, 04:46 PM

headed back to shop now. building a frame jig to raise the rear 3". excited about the rear !

Late model huh? Between all the brake/hub/rotor/suspension parts, I kinda figured....

So what class/series do you run? I've been racing for years, mostly IMCA dirt modifieds, but I ran the Southwest Tour in 07, USAC Western Sprints in 08.

I've got a super late model for sale if you're interested

Just curious. I like the "personality" of your build!

68 TT · 03-10-2011, 05:19 PM

Great idea. I like the look of the older steering wheels but don't care for the school bus diameter they have. Keep up the great work.

**72k5zl1** · 03-10-2011, 05:27 PM

i dont race, cant afford both. my wifes family are dirt modified people. and one of her uncles is a retired cup car driver. i do help chase a class 8 truck in the score series a few weekends a year.

67chevy1series · 03-10-2011, 07:37 PM

if the price is right my dad would probably love to get a shortened 67 68 steering wheel
