64 Custom 2500 update! Factory Wheels and caps on!
Hey guys - I am so happy - I finally got some new Coker 6.50 x 17 bias-ply tires put on the newly powder-coated factory 17" split rims and now my factory hubcaps are again reunited with the truck after being removed back in 1967.
Thankfully the 2nd owner saved the caps all these years in dry storage, so they nearly look NOS and cleaned up nicely. Putting the original tires, wheels and caps on this old bird sure did help its appearance a lot in my opinion - wondering what you guys think? Not too many people go through the pain and effort much less expense to save and continue using the factory split rims on 2500's, so I think its cool to preserve a little history by going through all that effort...let me know what you think!
Steve
