Keeping up with the Jones! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

C/10 King · 09-23-2011, 01:51 PM

I would like to give my 72' a little make over probably in the next 3 months by changing the wheels, I really like the look of " Original 71's " with the Intro's, but I'm leaning towards the Intro "Vista" rim, Is anybody running Vistas on a 67-72 short fleet in a 20' or 22' series? And if so can you post some photos? Thanks in advance.

If you ask me,you're already up with the Rockefellers.

That truck is BAD now... cant wait to see it with some Intros.

Zoomin · 09-23-2011, 02:08 PM

Vistas will look terrific on there. Wheres a good place to get Intros?

Do you have any interior shots with your new seats?

I think its the other way around, the Jones struggle to keep up with you

VA72C10 · 09-23-2011, 02:27 PM

The one thing I'd recommend would be either a stock wheel or a matching wheel to the rims when you get them.

**CC69Rat** · 09-23-2011, 02:36 PM

Nothing a'tall wrong with that truck! One of my favorites on the site in fact. Intros would be killer on there too though. I just ordered a set of Billet Specialties for my truck and I'm planning to get the steering wheel to match or in your case I might look at a blue Corvette three spoke wheel for it (?) .. just a thought. Even a rosewood wheel off a 69 Camaro would be nice with the wood in the door panels.

**SactoJim** · 09-23-2011, 02:41 PM

I don't know Rene.....that thing is about as perfect as it gets.....you really think you can improve it?!?!?
I love 5 spokes, but I understand wanting to change it up a bit.

big_al_71 · 09-23-2011, 02:55 PM

Intros not in our year though

Kev's Classic's is coming to town tomorrow, that old steering wheel is going in the trash after he leaves.... enuff said.

Jim, nobody loves TT2 more than me, but I kinda miss the look of my old 72', remember this one.

Thank you very much for that compliment buddy. coming from you with all those beautiful trucks really means alot. Now back to the topic, if you really want to change it i would go with 20 and 22 combo, IMO. but it does look great as is also. Good luck on your choice and cant wait for pictures.

I like it how it sits

I love your truck the way it sits but a set of Intros would look sweet
