Re: 1970 VA Longbed Project
Here's a couple pictures of the steering wheel I just got. Came with the package deal of the wheels. Matches the wheels exactly. I will get a new half leather wrap in black or tan depending on what I decide on for the interior. But the good news is he sent the horn button and billet adapter with the wheel.

Re: 1970 VA Longbed Project
It needs to be polished, but if you can tell from the reflection, it's pretty nice already.

Re: 1970 VA Longbed Project
Okay you got a shot of the steering wheel, but where's the shot of the new rims??? :D

Re: 1970 VA Longbed Project

Re: 1970 VA Longbed Project
had to keep the thread clean you know.... ;)
Well, I'm not thrilled as the PO of the rims shipped them in shrink wrap which was shredded by UPS and there are scratches and some small dings in the outer rim....But for 4-5,000 less than new, it's hard to complain :lol: Here are the pictures Before cleaning http://i562.photobucket.com/albums/s...ikrims1001.jpg After 5 minutes with a powerball http://i562.photobucket.com/albums/s...ikrims1002.jpg |
Re: 1970 VA Longbed Project
Only got one in today...the rest should be here tomorrow hopefully. I won't be test fitting them for a while because the next stages are frame cleaning, then C-notch and after that frame painting and detailing.
Then airbags, airlines, compressors, tank, frame mounted battery drop box, super trac bar, lowering blocks, Drop spindles, and disc brakes go on. By then the body work should be done and possibly paint and it'll be time for assembly. Wish I would have gotten these to mock up before then but oh well..... |
Re: 1970 VA Longbed Project
Alright, I guess you can test fit them on my garage ornament.:lol: What's the specs on them?
Btw, what happened to the coys you have/had? |

They make the wheels in 5 spoke/5 lug. This is the ONLY set in 6 lug in existance. It was made for a show truck. I paid 1400 SHIPPED for them. THe steering wheel is 389 from Budnik without shipping. So I feel I did pretty good even with some scratches....but we'll see if they fit and see how the other wheels fared when they arrive. |

Re: 1970 VA Longbed Project
No updates on the truck other than there has been more body work/rust repair done and I haven't been over to see it because I have been working on my house. Built a 16X18 deck. Also helped my brother in law move in including painting the entire upstairs, remodeling his bathroom (full demo to the studs), refinishing his hardwood floors, tiled his fireplace, etc....
