Here are the pictures of what I picked up today, needless to say I love swap meets!

First I picked up 5 used 235-70-15 tires that should fill out the wheel wells nicely

I wanted some tri-five dog dish caps for the wheels and started to piece together a set

but then I found these and couldn't resist, they are a little rough but I can clean them up.

and finally the thing I'm most excited about, I can't believe I got these for $25

to bad they don't fit my model a :wash:

i didnt realize you could cut steel with a chainsaw...that radio job is about the worse i have seen

62 Barnfind · 05-06-2012, 10:57 AM

Good finds! I wish I knew when their were swap meets going on in the central Tx area. It would save me alot of money!

1963c-10 · 05-07-2012, 09:45 AM

nice looking truck you got. Looks very solid...good find.

CRGRS 66 · 05-07-2012, 11:28 AM

Love those 6 cylinders, takes me back to high school and my 57 short stepper

NotNuRodz · 05-08-2012, 12:42 AM

I'm planning on painting my wheels when I mount the new tires on them, but I'm not sure what color I want yet. I'm thinking a want a dark color maybe like a maroon of navy blue.

What do you guys think? I could use some good ideas.

ChevyTruckGuy · 05-08-2012, 12:51 AM

white

ChevyTruckGuy · 05-08-2012, 12:52 AM

canvas rustoleum white

NotNuRodz · 05-08-2012, 01:20 AM

A guy on another forum gave me the idea to paint them orange. Do you think that would be to crazy?

NotNuRodz · 05-08-2012, 01:35 AM

alright i'm convinced! After doing some searching I think this is the look I'm going for interms of wheel color.

CRGRS 66 · 05-08-2012, 08:05 AM

CRGRS 66 · 05-08-2012, 10:04 AM

I would go white walls, has more punch, I said "love it", but I really love it!

NotNuRodz · 05-08-2012, 10:24 AM

The tires I have are raised white letter on one side so I think I'll take them to a tire shop and have them grind the tires down into white walls

Revoh · 05-08-2012, 12:18 PM

Looks like a good start to me! Perhaps I'll see you tooling around Kansas City with it at some point.

NotNuRodz · 05-08-2012, 11:44 PM

Had some guys on another forum photoshop some pics for me, and I decided I love this color combo so tomorrow I'm blasting my wheels and painting them orange.

Dinos63 · 05-09-2012, 12:04 AM

great find , i dig the orange!

creep · 05-09-2012, 10:14 AM

Nice truck. I think the orange wheels look killer. If you keep the patina just be be ready to hear "so what color ya' gonna paint it?". You may occasionally get someone suggesting you leave it as is, too

This isn't my first rodeo with a patina car, but whats even worse is when people ask me what color i'm painting my model a that is already painted using hot rod flatz black.

dbomb53 · 05-10-2012, 12:56 PM

faribran · 05-10-2012, 01:37 PM
