Well, haven't thought about it, but I believe that may be too "muscle" car for me. Sure would be different though! I'm going back to bed - just got up to pee and got all wrapped up in this. C ya for now.

Just an idea on the black, if you haven't tried it yet. Go check out the black BBQ specific paint. It's super durable, and has a semi flat look. May be just noticeable enuf, yet hide the uglies underneath.

Just may try that - gonna mess around with it more this weekend. Also may see how chrome paint looks on it. Luckily it's not big deal to change it out.

I've never seen a w/w tire with a thin inner white ring and a larger white ring on the outside. The reverse, I've seen planty of.
Ever seen Vogue Tyres? These have a w/w about the same size that's on your truck now (w/w has ripples in it), and a thin outer GOLD ring.
Dealer installed for decades mostly on Luxo barges like Cattle-Hacks, PUick
Roadmashers/Limited's, Lincolns/Marks, Thunderchickens, Imperials, Rollers and Bentley Upplies.

Oh yes, familiar with the Vogue Tyres - pretty sure they're still made.
The tires with the double rings I posted are made by Diamondback Classics in South Carolina. The "laminate" the walls onto tires and can make any thing you want. GREAT GUYS
Can't wait to get those wire wheel covers with the red centers - ought to set my truck off nicely with that red grill bar!! Thanks again for the lead on those wheels Bill.

LowPro QT. You have to custom order one for these era trucks as their standard sizes won't fit our beds. They did an excellent job on making it - fits great.
I really like the way it looks and it's a piece of cake to install. Only took 2 beers!
