Check with 77&79F250 He used to have some unless he sold them all.

 

I believe I bought his only set this summer... but message him and I'm sure he will keep an eye out for ya. He's very resourceful

 

77&79 is this one of yours in the post?

 

He's got a blue one, silver with black stripes and a solid red flatbed

That's a clean truck tho

 

He posted those pics and am wondering the source, as I have the same wheels and am trying to find out more on them. I would like to get another set or at least a spare.

Originally on my 79 SB.



on the new build

 

Mmm turbines...

 

 

I had those 35 years ago .Wish I still had them, except they were 16.5"

 

Thanks everyone. I'm send him a message and see if he has anything available. I had someone on here say he had some in his garage the other day. I sent him a PM but haven't received a response. Hopefully, I'll hear from him before too long.

I've also found a set on my local Craigslist. They are painted black and 15x7 size. He's asking $250 for them, but I think he's a little high. I'd have to get them blasted and powder-coated on top of that price.

Really cool link. Thanks for sharing.

I wish someone would remake an exact replica of the 16.5" slot rims our trucks sometimes had...

But in modern 16" diameter. I've seen some repops, but they just don't look the same as the originals.

EDIT: Yes, you can all flame me for talking slots over Turbines. I like both, but to me... slots > turbines.

 

The problem lies in the lack of 16.5 tires. Looks like all your options are is military humvee take offs, a couple bias plys, or super swampers is it. I got a set of Jackman white spokes 16.5x9.75 and one set of new (10+ year old but full tread) 33x12.5x16.5 Mastercraft courser that Im hoping to preserve for as long as I can for a future project.

 

Eaglechief PM reply sent. I am out of stock of fin rims at the moment. But always on the Craigslist hunt for them.

To who ever asked the black truck w/fins is NOT mine, just a pic off FTE.

That was me asking about the black truck. Wonder who it belongs to on the site?

 

No idea, maybe the owner will see this thread.
