Well the big white truck showed up today (Fedex) with my china made coys that my wife bought me for christmas. We had to mount the front tires because coys could not get them because being on B/O so I had them ship me the two back ones mounted and just rims for the front. I bought the front tires from tire rack and had them in two days. We also had to rebalance the rear as the weights came off during transport. I did not get my lugnuts as they are coming on a different box but being that I have a wheel place down the street they hooked me up with some for the time being till I get the ones from coys. We put them on and I dont know if I am crazy about the look but can't complaint. Let me know what you think.

VA72C10 · 01-07-2009, 07:38 PM

I think they flow well with the look of your truck. I personally love chrome rims, but the black works for your truck!

big_al_71 · 01-08-2009, 12:52 PM

In the shop last night getting all polished up for this weekend. Car cruise tomorrow night, car show sat during the day, car beach cruise sat night and car show Sunday about an hour south of me. Sylvester is ready I just have to figure out which aones I am going to since I am not wasting the whole weekend with car stuff because kids and wife made plans for something I am sure.

OARNGESI · 01-09-2009, 02:51 AM

The new rims look really good are you thinking you should have wwent with chrome or a different styly

big_al_71 · 01-09-2009, 05:39 PM

No not at all they are different as I stated before that I have always had either polished or chrome... I like the look alot.....thanks

big_al_71 · 01-20-2009, 12:43 AM

I do have some tunes just not a state of the art stereo system at least not yet maybe when I repaint the truck in the future and move the tank out of the cab..

koolky · 02-02-2009, 08:52 PM

Very nice truck! I really like the 2 tone black and white with the black wheel centers.

jugernot · 02-10-2009, 07:07 PM

Nice build great truck. Can you post a picture of your lower radiator hose? I have the same pulley set up, which looks like it caused a clearance issue with the lower hose. Thanks

MisterE72 · 02-10-2009, 11:31 PM

How's it going Big Al..Long time since I checked in on the board. The truck is looking real good. The choice of wheels was excellent. How is the baby. I hope he is in good health. Mine working on 6 months, 18 pounds 12 oz, 27 inches. He can't wait to walk an tear up the house like his brothers. My 72 is on pause for now. My wife got her hours cut back, so I have to be more consertative with the truck money. Priorities man. Take care and good to see your truck is looking sharp. Mister E
