I love the t bucket. They look like so much fun, while being so absolutely uncomfortable and impractical. I would so have one. And that one looks perfect.

Thanks for the kind words. I always bought my rims from Whellsmith, but they've become very expensive. I can't find Sacramento Vintage Wheel. Can you post a link?
I also run 15X8 & 15X10 ;-)

I tried to find Sacramento Vintage Wheel and it turns out Sacramento Vintage Wheel has closed their doors. Looking back, I bought those wheels in about 1996. I looked on the Web to see if I could locate another source with no luck. Who knew that a hot rodding staple like chrome reverse rims would just disappear.

Who would have thought companies like Rick's Antique Auto Parts, SoCal Pickups, and Mid-Fifty would disappear?

I'm still here too. I try to check in about every month or so when I'm not actively working on the truck, which has been a while now... the plan was to get the e-brakes hooked up, and to put the motor and trans back into it last spring so I can move it in and out of the garage at least, but instead I drug home two additional car projects that ate the summer and fall up entirely!

I'm still here. Just not checking in as much as I should. Too many non truck projects distracting me lately. Need to start making more time for trucks.

Still here! Two little ones are pushing the two 53s my dad bought on the back burner. My oldest loves the 48 though.
