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)

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.

Thanks. Took one lug nut out so I can make sure I get the correct replacements.

Thanks. The slots were on it when I bought it. They are a nice period correct look. They are 16.5's.

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

Roundhouse,
Those are some rare rims you have.
Ive never seen slotted 8 lug 15" rims before.
Very cool.

I have a soft spot for that 4x4 Step Side along with the slots. They look like x10's.
They made some weird sizes like 9 or 9.5.

Few new pieces parts. The battery box was all welded together and it never had the coolant overflow bottle.

love the snow but know it means salt or brine on the roads which isnt good for vehicles

The snow pictures were taken in my yard. Truck has been hibernating since last Fall in my heated shop and wont be on the roads till they are cleaned up. Looks like nice weather coming up here so it wont be long ;D.

I'm still delayed a few days, just had a big slopper. Not much longer. AND my truck is done and ready.
