Out for a nice drive
It was nice and hot yesterday so I took the 49 out for a drive to Norris Dam that is close by. I got a lot of thumbs up on the way.

A nice day, for sure! Tracy, I love those wheels, are they 5x 51/2 bolt pattern? I would like to get nice wheels for my 56. Thanks, Greg.

No, The 15x10 on the rear only came in 5x4.5 bolt pattern. I bought some quality wheel adapters to be able to run them. Not real happy about having to do that but at the cost of the adapters being a good made set was worth the look
