Nice truck...those rims look just like the AR Torq Thrust IIs that I have on my truck. I am running 17s.
Hope to see you at the Run to the Sun show in Lake Havasu in October (16th-18th). One of the best car events in AZ each year.

Nice 56 Vin. I have to agree with Smallello, not many in white. I was curious about your exterior finish. In the first pictures, outside, it looks like a PPG DP epoxy primer white, low sheen. But, the ones back in your shop, it looks almost like a lo-gloss clear had been applied, and just a hint of pearlescence shows.

I would like if my 57 turned out that nice. Lots of work ahead for me to get it that way.

Keep it pretty. I am not all that thrilled with 56"s, but yours is really one to like.

Aloha, Tony

It's a white pearl finish. Painter did a great job. I've had a few people ask about the color. All I know is PPG.

I guess you don't see many in white, but they do look good. I saw this one at Cooly's rocks, a ten day music festival with a two day car show at the end.

I don't know backspace - is there an easy way to measure? I know front and rear are diff.

Will get some pics of underside when I pull wood and install fuel tank.

Vin, backspace is the space measured from inside of rim where it mounts out to the edge of rim on back.
You have some more work at the painter when you move your tank! The filler neck, or are you leaving that?

Painter already patched the hole in cab for filler neck.
