Rims

So i recently acquired a 78 with

mag type wheels.

Yes they had rim options, but not those rims that I have ever seen. You never know what a dealership offered though.

Nice looking truck Vinford. Great color combo.
The only way to know for sure is to post more pictures.
BTW, we just drove through Williams Lake yesterday, on our way back home to Burns Lake
from a mad run to Vancouver.

I like them, certainly a retro styling that fits the truck.

Very nice truck, I like the duals coming out behind the rear wheels all on the passenger side. Probably not factory original but I like 'em anyway.
