What wheels are those?

Looks like the front and rear have opposing slots.
Since I have been looking for wheels, I have noticed a lot of cars with directional slots in one direction, so if you look at one side of the vehicle the slots point in one direction, and on the other side they point the other way... cause the wheels are all the same. I suppose it doesn't matter cause who is looking at both sides of the vehicle at once.
On this vehicle it looks like they have wheel designs that are mirrored , so I assume there are matching wheels on the other side?

Texas dents

Driving and unable to get pics, but saw a pretty straight 4x4 white dent with a few dark spots in Gilmer TX yesterday and a white '78-9 with blue side panels off highway 75 south of Buffalo today.

I never have a camera/phone ready but while driving around thru northwest Montana and the Idaho panhandle I see 70's Ford trucks all over the place.....driving down the road....sitting in a field....parked out front of a dive bar....literally everywhere! These trucks will never die!

I drive by this metal recycle business everytime I go to the parts store and I saw this out front today. I don't know if it's being recycled or the company is parting it out, but I never see vehicles parked there for long ... 😟

Does the blue truck have different styles of side mirrors on the drivers and passengers sides?

Speaking of dent spotting, I haven't seen your build thread yet Slik. I noticed you put on some new shoes and meats - I like the combo you went with! Link to your thread?

Well, I haven't done an actual build thread yet. I did a paint thread and all, but I am waiting till I retire from the Navy before I do a real build thread. Plan is for a 5.0 Coyote with Superduty axles. Lots of planning and lots of saving for it. I retire in six years.
