Here are my 15" x 6" steelies and caps I just had powder coated at Les Schwab. Came out great with new Buckshot Mudders. Can't wait to get them on my Burb!

The snortin' bull .Original cap's. Modded onto mid 90's cop Rim's.

earl84 · 06-06-2016, 09:17 AM

cgnjrpilot, that truck looks great! My favorite color combo.

**Backpayne** · 06-06-2016, 09:36 AM

I have stock steelies from a '63 and cannot find any bullet caps for them. I am searching for caps with a 3.65" diameter as that is what I read is the bore size of the wheel. I have had no luck and am wondering if the 3.65" bore is wrong.

Any help?

I don't like low profiles on a 4WD, you need the taller profile for rock climbing.

Are your back wheels narrower than your front wheels?

Brad54 · 08-06-2016, 04:01 PM

Scored a pair of front 15x6 4-nub 6-lug steelies at the NE Georgia Swap Meet today for $100.

I now have a full set of options for the '62 K10 I'm building: Stockers all the way around if I decide to keep the closed-knuckle drum-brake Dana 44, stockers with 4-nub fronts to clear discs if I decide to run a later disc-brake open-knuckle Dana 44, and a set of 4-nub 15x8 if I decide the pizza cutters aren't cuttin it anymore.

Something about how this truck sits, but those plain wheels look just right.

Narxoleptic Customs · 08-09-2016, 12:32 PM

18" Nissan titan Steelies....do they count?

Those look awesome, which I could find something like that in a 5 lug! I've been searching for any type of steelie in a 5 on 5 17" or 18" but can't seem to find anything that will work. I suppose I could convert the front to 6 lug, but I just bought 5 lug axles for the rear, argh.

**jayoldschool** · 08-09-2016, 02:03 PM

They do make 5x5 17" steel. A buddy had a set on his Caprice 9C1.

Narxoleptic Customs · 08-09-2016, 02:56 PM

i cant remember who makes the steelies like he is talking about but CPP makes a 6 lug rotor for the 5 lug front. just swap rotors. i think i gave $100 for these like 2 years ago

Perfect, I'll just hold on to the set of 5 lug axles I picked up in case I decide to go that route later.
