Re: Green Machine
Not a lot of progress recently, but I did get one thing on the list started... steel wheels and new tires! The mags and mudders really threw off the look of this truck IMHO. And, since we're trying to get it back to "the way Dad had it", those things had to go. I sandblasted a set of 16x6 steelies I found, painted bright white and went with a 235/85 Cooper. I was hard pressed to find a "classic" looking tire but settled on a highway tread. I think they look great, and the tall/narrow stance is just what I was after. These tires run way quieter and smoother than the mudders and seem to have better grip overall, maybe due to the sipes? Anyway, now on the hunt for hubcaps... does anyone know if any vintage of 12" (for the 16's) caps will fit through/over the front/rear hubs? Do I have to source a special cap?
