Needed Something

Have not been working on the 48 lately and I needed something to get me jump started again, nothing like a new set of Cragers to get me going.

Always liked those rims. I had been looking for a set of 5 x 5.5" for a while but no luck. Too cheap to buy new anyways. Looks great, how get back out there and get going on it again!

Looks great ChuckRob. Wish I was half as close to finishing as you are. How often do you get it out and drive it around the block ?

Well maybe someday when we are both retired and our trucks are finished we can meet in Kansas city and talk about our trucks over a slab of ribs and a cold one.

Your a man of my own heart. I've always loved Cragers. My truck is the third vehicle I've installed them on. Before the truck about thirty years ago I had them on a 71 monti carlo then a 79 trans am. I guess I'm showing my age I didn't release it had been that long ago.

You are doing a great job on your truck, it is looking real nice, that colour is beautiful and those wheels set it off very well. You have to love a nice set of mags.
