My opinion good deals on wheels don't happen often and you end up getting the engine parts anyway.

Alcoa's are so common, but so are chrome caps on steels. I would look for something differant.

But I do like the 505 idea.

I decided to wait on the Alcoa's if they are still around in a few payday's I'll pick them up, Thanks for the input. 79diesel I am hopeing withing the next year I'll be able to find a cummins but the NV4500 will be going in shortly :)

The track was awsome last night I didn't get home until 4:30 this morning. I will be ordering my 505 rotating assembly tomorow :):):)

Hey Everyone... It's been a while for an update, I was promoted and moved to the night shift so my schedule was jacked up for a while.

Any way my tailgate is finally finished and installed it looks great and I did get the alocoa's a while back but they came with no lug nuts and caps so today I broke down and ordered those $240. >:( for lug nuts.. I should get everything mounted next weekend and update some photo's.


I also started getting part's for my 505- So Far I recieved my Callies dragon Slayor crank 4.250, and My SRP flat top pistons 4.350. I still need to order my 6.800 Compstar Rods, Ring's, Balancer yet and a few more parts. I really need to finish this dually so I can build big power  ;D ;D

That looks awesome!  I love white on any of these trucks from blazers to cc's.  Those wheels look MUCH better.
