Looks great.
Fine job on the paint.
Are some trim rings for those rally's in the future?

I got home this past weekend and went in the basement to get my trim rings. (I couldn't put them on or do any work this weekend because the temperatures were in the negatives) I found that i have 3 original trim rings and one that is completely different. anyone know where i can find a fourth matching one?

Same here, -15. Truck turned over like molasses. Wait, it didnt turn over, had to jump it.

GM made so many different 15" steel rally wheels and interchangable trim rings for cars and trucks.
It is possible you have 3 non original and one original.
You should have no problem finding a match for the other three.
I would install the 4 you have. No one but you will notice while you hunt down the fourth.

I am understanding the different combinations and options that came off the assembly line in 73-87 were endless.

i am really struggling to find the trim ring. I found the exact one on  , but that is a lot more expensive than the others i am seeing. Still haven't found the exact match. Getting close though. For the spring we are hoping to get a speedometer cable, new tires (white lettering), remove the running boards, a new rear bumper, get the vinyl seat repaired, and we just installed two kenwood speakers in the back corners of the cab. I will post pictures as we make progress.

Night and day difference! 100% better with no boards. They just weren't the right look for truck.
