Nice truck. Your left front wheel appears to be missing a lug nut.

Good lookin' pick-em-up.   :)   Not generally into stripes, but they work well hugging that raised hood.   8)

In other words... if people learn by making mistakes, by now I should know just about everything!!!

Nice looking truck!

Where'd you get the 8 lug slot mags?

16.5" ?

We have some 8 lug 15"s our our truck
But took some grinding on the calipers to get em to fit

Great looking truck, I love the aluminum slots & cowl induction hood.
Blazer74, I hear you on the rims.
Roundhouse, Ive been collecting 8 lug 16.5" aluminum slots for years.  It's tough finding tires for them now, (I think Super Swamper is the only company making 16.5" tires anymore).
Captkaos, I can see this truck on the calendar.

Nice truck. Your left front wheel appears to be missing a lug nut.
Thanks. Took one lug nut out so I can make sure I get the correct replacements.

Thanks for the kind words! Bought the truck last Fall so I haven't had a chance to drive it much. I am having fun wrenching on it though!

Here's 8 lug 15" slots
I think 10" wide

There's a company making slots again that will sell them with blank centers so you can get them drilled any pattern you want but kinda pricy
