Great great look going on. Nice work. A set of 60s valve covers would really help out the engine theme. Dare I suggest painting that nice aluminum intake...?

Are those the stock wheels 15x7? Still running drum brakes in the rear? I want that look, I have the stock wheels but I want to swap to disc if possible what brake kit are you using up front to fit the stock wheels, spacers?

Re: Our 1966 C10 "Catalina"
CPP Front Disc brakes and the rims are 73-87 15x6 stock 4x4 6 lug rims on all 4 rims, so they clear the disc brake calipers.
On the rear brakes axle bump that fits through the rim is slightly bigger than the hole on the earlier wheel from 66. So I had to have both my axle bumps that fit through the middle rim center hole milled down so they will fit right over them.

Just a fyi

Thanks that was super helpful. You would not happen to know the backspacing on that wheel would you? I wanted to see if wheel vintiques sells something that would work given those wheels are hard to find. I’ve seen the 15x8’s for sale but I don’t want the deeper look! Yours are spot on!!!
