this rim is a example i found on the internet, its the exact same as the ones on my truck, except mine have the inserts painted black, as soon as i get them back on the truck, i will snap a picture of them on the new tires,




there very different and very period, with the inserts painted black the rims stand out even more, also the maker of this rim is called Keystone, and from what i can find, they are quite rare, but i was lucky to have them come with my truck,

here is a picture of my truck with the rims on, i got some OWL 31" tires on the rims now, along with the truck on the lifted 4x4 frame, this picture was taken back when the previous owner did his half @$$ restoration on the truck in the late 90s,



i think they look good, and are different, mind you i don't like a lot of rims, i am more into vintage style rims like cragar style rims, and very few rims catch my eye, anyone else have rims like mine? i think the turbines are neat, and i particularly like mine, not to many spokes, some turbine rims have way to many turbine spokes and look over crowded and look difficult to clean and detail,

this is me, my name is Brent and i am turning the big 20 this September, i live in London Ontario (yep Canada) and currently i am self employed, doing odd jobs and looking for a job (dang economy!), i got my first vehicle back in September of 2007, and its been parked there ever since in my father's garage, and during the winters we didn't do as much due too the cold Canadian temps! (non heated garage!)

so far its about 90% done, just finishing up the paint and some other things like exhaust, and other small things, but then again these trucks are never really done, there is always one more thing to replace or add or remove,

here are some of my Youtube videos,

(the first one is my first Youtube video ever, and it gives a run down on my truck)

here is a start up video of the trucks engine which is a '71 Torino 302w, we where just adjusting the carb before the video, thus the air cleaner was off, also don't mind the dust in the engine compartment, body work is dirty work! even when we had the engine well covered!

a update video,

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMema...response_watch

and here is the recent update video below, so far we now have the roof cap painted white, and in the next week or 2 more work will be done, thus more updates, things have been slow on the truck because of other projects, but me and my father should be back at it soon,

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Remrr...eature=related

so that is a quick run down of me and my truck, also i find this thread interesting, since i know all of you by your trucks, not your actual faces! which is kinda odd,

this is me and my truck in the picture (notice the mint tailgate and trim, it came off a 74 F-250, but the gate was stored in a barn for most of the trucks life, due to a camper, thus i got a dent free, and rust free gate for $150! complete with all the trim!)
