"Ugly Betsy" soon to get a face lift.
I had a work injury about a year and a half ago. I have some permanent dissability from it. The settlement finally came. The wife already ran off with the check. Being the man of the house, the one that wears the pants in the family you know....., I begged and cried about the lack of funding for the '63. Well I ended up with 1/3rd. Way to rule the kingdom! Anyway I guess I'll start my progress page here rather than scattering it in multiple posts.
My first post settlement purchase were these wheels. A CL bargain at $75.00 for the wheels and tires. I will try to get pics of the truck posted too.

Re: "Ugly Betsy" soon to get a face lift.
Just put them on to check the fit. I went out and got all new lugs,but have to wait for the new center caps to come. Money is mine, but most of the household debt is too. I have to do the right thing.

Re: "Ugly Betsy" soon to get a face lift.
Our wives went to the same tailor for their pants. I step in occasionally to straighten her out then I go back to my little corner of the house.
