I agree, I would like to put some Krager 5 spokes on but, for know I just have to polish up the hup caps. I didn't get to them yesterday. The radio sounds really good, I just have a bit of a kink in the Instrument surround that I would like to straighten out.

I`ve always really liked the mag styled 5 spoke wheel covers that I think were from a mid 70`s Explore pick up. They were one of the nicest factory wheel covers ever out, I`ve saved a set or two of them for future use. Alot cheaper than Cragars, maybe not quite as cool but they`ll do the job very nicely.

Nice looking truck there. I have always wanted one in that body style again. Wish I had my old '79 back. Loved that truck.

Ive always been a rim and tire kinda guy, and I think some cragars would look really sweet on there!

It still looks sharp as it is though dont get me wrong

Thanks for all the compliments, it's been alot of fun working on it this summer. I just have some door panels, door pockets and speakers to put on and I should be caught up for awhile. Or at least till I think or come across something else.
