Whose on Steelies? Post 'em up!

It took me a while to find 6 original 6 lug 15" stock rims , I wanted 16" ers but apparently those are nowhere to be found .

I kept hitting Junk Yard after Junk Yard and finding one wheel here , another there , old mounted wheels and tires are a ' HAZ-MAT ' (means they have to pay to get rid of them) so they were always happy when I'd roll some 40 year old dry rotted tire / rusty wheel carcass up to the front and say " will you take $10 for this ? " .

It took me *much* longer to find hubcaps , a old member here had promised to sell me his that he didn't want but I don't see him here anymore =8-( .

I had to dig through dozens of crap filled junk boxes at swap meets , crawl under piles of crap etc.

I now have seven hub caps , maybe four are decent , all are painted glossy white and waiting for me to find someone who knows how to mask them off and paint the black and the bowtie blue again .

The body shop ' lost ' them until I gave him a week to ' find ' them or I'd bring in the Police .

A sad thing as this guy does amazing body and paint work but managed to screw up many things and returned my truck non running and in pieces .

I hope to get it running again when I retire this Summer , I want to work it and show it off too ! .
