You bet - they are the U.S. Mags Indy U101 Polished Wheels. I've always loved the classic, period correct look of the slotted mags and these are the only ones i could find for a 3/4 ton.
Same look as the K20's "older brother" too - my 66 Impala SS...

Great looking wheel and tire combo! Good to see more 8 lugs getting some love.

She's still rusty but the driver's side door has all new rubber and felt along with a wing glass rebuild. Now to get the passenger side done.

Also adjusted the door to get the gaps consistent and it open/closing like it should. That was probably the biggest pain.

**Already Gone** · 11-08-2021, 09:02 PM

In post # 2560 had engine removed from truck. Saturday got the engine to my home garage and on stand where she will stay. Then had truck towed to other garage for Winter storage

**Rich72C10** · 11-08-2021, 09:21 PM

Put in a new light switch, now its not so touchy when I have the dash lights turned up all the way. Often when I turned on my cab light, the dash lights would go off and had to wiggle the knob a few times to get them back on.

I also replaced the upper chrome tailgate trim clap thingys, so the trim isn't loosey-goosey anymore!

Able to get the hood on with some help last night. Still need to put on the trim and letters.

Slowly getting my 67 fixed up. A long neglected work truck is starting to look much better.

Holley fuel pressure regulator.
The Mr. Gasket one wasn't working out.
Need a few more fittings to clean up the rube Goldberg plumbing mess

Made a new line up.
Added a support bracket.
Ran out of black fittings
But it's not gonna flood anymore. 5psi running creeps to 7 after you turn it off.
About over carburetors altogether.

**C101972** · 12-11-2021, 09:32 PM

Finished the brake lines, final mounting of fuel tank, rough plumbing of fuel lines.

Those hard lines running all the way to the tank look very clean.

Copper lines, they are easy to bend and flare, had to make the differential brake lines. Differential is 2-1/2” narrower each side.

Mounted new wheels and tires then went for a drive! First time after a nearly three year complete restoration -

1968 K20 · 11-30-2021, 10:43 AM

Nice truck, that's a good day when you finally get to take it out for a drive after all that time. Really looks good.

Replaced my in cab fuel tank due to previous damage and poor repair (not by me) that started leaking. Also, wrapped the tank in sound deadener to make the fuel pump quiet...it worked.
