Those are some of the coolest rims going. They look better on your truck than any you have shown so far, again to me.
I had a set on a 1966 GTO back in the day.

Like some have said, "To each his own"

Thanks Vince,

Thing is, they are past their best by date, and need to be changed to make the truck both mine and a bit more together.

As driver quality they are fine, but I want them better than that.



More about getting to know the S10

On Sunday I spent another couple of hours getting even deeper into the grooves, under rubber seals, and behind stuff, lifting, probing, brushing and washing the whole truck again.

This was quite interesting as I found so much more grime, moss, green mould to remove.



After the wheels and going over the whole truck a second time, it was on to the tonneau cover.

It looked good as it was.



But using the Auto Glym product to revive and feed the vinyl gave decent results.

Midway through polishing and buffing.



Job done.



And nicely showing the result the next morning.



After all this I reversed down the drive in order to get the Galaxy in for a quick wheel wash as it was parked over the road in some mud.

So a few cleaned up pics.

Front end, obviously.







This is possibly my favourite angle or view of the truck.



Lastly, went food shopping yesterday, and stopped at the independent locksmiths en-route to have a spare key cut for the truck.

Ouch...... £14.50 which I think is steep, but needed to just get on with it, as it is a brand specific blank, and driving around to find a saving on that, costs money too.

These guys know me well though as they have cut spare keys for all my American vehicles.

Never understand why people lose keys, especially spare keys, surely you store them in a safe place.




Need to start marketing the wheels and tyres and finding replacements.
