Re: New Steelies, New Look
i like your plan hoodlum. i would prefer a return to stock front rather than a lowered rear to level this thing. white steelies are awesome and a variety of caps is something you'll enjoy. they can get expensive!!

Re: New Steelies, New Look
Lil hoodlum, I always liked this truck minus the wheels. Looks great. If you wanted to lower the rear I think no more than a 2" block would be needed.
Is it stock suspension now? Nice truck. Btw Im in N TX at tech school, any car shows in whitchita falls this summer? |

Right now my truck has disk brakes up front with stock height aftermarket spindels. I put in 2" drop springs up front. Rear is stock height. The only thing I could find out about car shows for Witchita Falls this is summer is: http://hotrodhappenings.com/NewTexas...mmerofFun.html There is also a "Hotter than He!!" bike/run event in August I believe. Not sure if there would be any kind of car event stuff. Keith |
Re: New Steelies, New Look
I say drop the back end a couple inches "I like a small rake also" and drive it ......... !:c2:

Re: New Steelies, New Look
I like the steelies. I have white steelies on my truck too. I like the stance on your truck. As far as lowering it, I think that looks good the way it is. Everyone has their own taste. I always like that wicked raked look. Gives it that hot rod/muscle feel.

Re: New Steelies, New Look
I like rake, but bring it in proportion.
Also, love the wheels/paint combo Posted via Mobile Device |

I don't think the push through will work for me. There is like zero clearence for the rear wheels because of the axel flange. Keith |

The ones from LugNutKing are for 3.75" outer diameter. I believe these are "push on". I measured mine before powder coating and that is the correct outer diameter.
Thanks for the info. Keith |

Have you thought about a Spider setup like this? Off hand I don't remember who sells them but I bet a quick search will find em. Yes, I know this is a 5 lug setup. They may be available in 6 lug though.

Re: New Steelies, New Look
I saw on a thread about the same thing on the 60-66 forum Lug Nut King on ebay sells them. Worth lookin.

Re: New Steelies, New Look
Keith,
I like steel wheels on your truck. I think the caps would set them off too! Ray |

I dig the steelies! I'm a fan of both, with and without caps. I have 15x8 steelies on the '67... currently with bowtie moon caps and rings. The second set is what I ran at first for a short time... 69-up caps which can be found on the parts board now. :)

Re: New Steelies, New Look
Keith, any info on whether or not those bullet center caps worked? I already have bullet lug nuts but the push through caps would be perfect for me. I have the same problem with the rear axle flange though.

Re: New Steelies, New Look
I like the new look..

Re: New Steelies, New Look
I am just starting my project with a 67 SWB fleet and I think the 15" steel rim is the way to go. I love the lowered trucks, and plan to go with a Porterbuilt coil over but I think I'm over the 22" look.
