im not sure what you mean by that last part. keystones? but i have the stock steelies and dog dish caps. im getting bored or them. wanting something different. partly cuz its time for tires.

 

ya ive got a set of staggard width/size/offset keystone kustoms (14x6 n 15x7), the keystone patent is now owned by cragar.

their vintage wheels from the 70's for a ford or a chevy, they were on my dads 47 chev while i was growing up, he bought em new.

but theres no way in hell they would tuck, never rubbed on me. but no tucking at all.



no tuck


i want $400 for em with the tires and a extra set for the rears.




ive always wanted to see a set of crown vic turbines on a older yota, i think it would be sick.

Those crown vics might look kinda cool.

 

The funny thing is, with all my camber and flaring the fenders...I think they would tuck. Just no turning. Haha.

I've seen wheels like those vics on a Lincoln lsc. Like a tbird. The older style. Do you have those or just a random picture?

 

random pic, but ive seen em in the junkyard a lot.

 

I'll keep an eye out. Random question, know the offset on the various 4 lug 4 spoke wheels?

 

got the bed on yesterday.





gotta bang a few dents out and find some new spray paint


DO NOT EVER EVER EVER BUY RUSTOLEUM "PAINTERS TOUCH"

F'n tiger stripe in a can is all it is, 6 coats deep and semi gloss still doesnt look even.

and for some reason nobody locally carries rust tough so i have to order it from work.

another wierd thing, is now the rear is higher then before im gonna try flipping a spring or two to bring it back down .5-1in for a lil less rake. want it right on the top of the rear tire, no gap. also been thinking about redrilling holes in the shackles too.


but ya PROGRESS!

 

Looks awesome man. I thought it looked higher. Thats wierd.

 

That is super angry lol, looks cool as hell

 

Right on! Looking good Sho!

 

would tiger stripe if you did olive drab. LOL. Looks way better. Let's take the luxs to nothgate or gasworks or something. Photoshoot. Haha.

 

you should come down here, well have a shoot next to the train tracks @ the free wall.


my favorite place to snap pics, all armeggedon lookin n stuff.



i think when i put the new springs n axl in (78 springs 4:10 axl) ill try flipping the main leaf and no block, then maybe add my 1in blocks to see if i can get that to the right height.

 

Yeah. For sure. Sounds good. I'm out of film though. Maybe tomorrow after I put my new head on.

 

Hmmm. thats what the red is on my truck.
Did not tiger stripe, but its not the color that was on the can......

Mine did that as well. Got my bed on last week. settled back to where it was in about 3-4 days.
Put some heavy stuff in the bed and let it sit over night. might help get it back down.

 

ya i was thinkin that might be the case.

but i also redid my u-bolts while the bed was off, that might of had something to do with it.


hopefully it settles before i swap the springs n axl, if not we'll see how the new ones fit.

 

[chant]OLIVE DRAB! OLIVE DRAB! OLIVE DRAB![/chant]

haha. and you have to put the chevron mirrors on with them pointing down, so you remember that im lower

 

good luck with it all man! I think my bed was on perfect before i touched it.

 

was the old bed the reason the axle wasn't centered???

seems pretty good with the new bed.

 

yeah, i saw it the other day with the bed on. looked centered. i think the crackhead he got it from did something to the bed. i dunno. he does need to slide it back a hair. has the front gap small but its not 100% centered. just a little off.
