They are an awesome looking wheel Chad, I think you would be happy. I just kind of wish I went with a 22" in the rear though. Oh we'll there is always next year

EVERYTHING looks so good Keith! I thought you were supposed to do things 3 times.. haha. Don't knock yourself for wanting to get it right... Which I think you did.

luckyss · 05-17-2013, 10:14 AM

Can't wait til it's done. We should meet up and go for a cruise...

Thanks Jimmy I really appreciate it. I really want this truck to be something I'm proud of when I'm done which led me to make a lot of changes. I think the end result will be worth it. Has just been hard lately to not have my father be able to help me on it. I look to him for guidance as he can literally do anything and well I'm somewhat limited in what I can do. Plus it's just not the same working on the truck without him.

Yeah we will definitely do that but my truck probably won't be done for another year or two

I have had the correct ones for a week now but haven't had the time to try them out. Probably won't be until next weekend before I can get that corrected.

Truck is looking killer!!! Keep up the awesome work. Don't sweat the spindles. The holes are tapered so you are only really drilling a 1/4" of the spindle. Cake walk compared to the stuff you've done already.

Thanks, I'm having a hard time finding the reaming bit to drill them out. I guess my problem is I really don't know what to use. I guess I can just get a 5/8" bit to do it too.

You caught me, i'll post them up in a sec

Bennett68C10 · 05-19-2013, 10:25 AM

Didn't get much progress done yesterday but I did get my Intros mounted up. I taped up the lips to help keep them protected, I think I might tape the whole face of the rim.

Bennett68C10 · 05-19-2013, 10:30 AM

And here is the money shot. It was sitting on the tranny pan which was stopping it from going down that last inch in the front. I have a deep tranny pan and may have to go back to a stock pan. I still need to install the correct motor mounts and bolt the motor and tranny down so I won't know exactly what needs to be done until next weekend after I work on it a little more.
