I kinda liked the body color wheels, although that does look way better.

they were sprayed with pontiac blue as it was the closest thing i could match to the awesome faded paint

thanks dave, offers still open if you want my exhaust

i have no clue what it'll get...maybe just a clearcoat over that patina

[bluzohh6]

what do you do with all the rust?

 

[Turbocharged400sbc]

ill give ya a ride tommy and see if your feet come off the floor ok? lol

rust, what rust? this things minty as panda's junk

 

[Frank Dukes]

would look so much cleaner w/o that ladder rack/boxes. lookin good tho.

 

[bluzohh6]

I meant on the brakes. Mine were frozen with rust and I had to pound the shit out of them to get them separated and I destroyed the bearing in the process

 

[Turbocharged400sbc]

well most of the time you slacken the adjuster through the backing plate (if auto adjusters are there pushing back the arm with a pick is needed) and even if they have a massive rustlip on the backside you can get em off pretty easy.

plus its a southern truck...no major rust its only been through part of a chicago winter from when i drove it from cali up to this rusthole...then it sat for 5 years lol

loving the new tires, rides a bit better, got her up to 70 for the "jumps" on eo at irving, fun!

-1 for increased manual steering effort, also tommy's driveway sucks for a multipoint turn +1 for getting more arm muscle strength -1 for needing a heavy throttle spring cause my right leg is getting gimpy

 

[greasy]

[Gwinn The Chinn]
