Cool wheels for 73-79's?

Anyone got any Pics of these year (73-79) trucks with some cool wheels? I'm looking for an idea of how classic hot rod type wheels look on these trucks. Smoothies, baby moons, steelies , wheels like these. How hot rodders from the 60's and 70's would have modded these trucks.

Dodger, it would be far easier for you to have a look through the pages & pages of photos than expect user's to drop by.

For a street truck I think Weld Prow Star and Drag Lites, and Super singles are food looking. Also Crager has some good looking wheels. Im kinda parcial to MC Clasic II's, Super Singles and The Bart Super Truckers I have.

I dont know about how classic these are but if i was doing mine into a street truck id put 17 or 18" torque thrust II's on it. They seem to look good on everything.

I already looked through all the galleries and didn't see anything like I was looking for. The MT classic II's do look good, and I have thought about the Torque Thrust II's also. I had an idea that maybe some old school rims might look good but am having a hard time picturing it in my head.

No, this is a two tone brown and tan one I got from my Grandfather. He bought it new in 78.

Have you tried taking a picture of your truck then cutting and pasting the rims you want to see on it?? Just a thought.
