    Frustration has finally started.

    Wheels... oh god wheels. I have found 2 wheels I like. One is wayyyy over priced and the other doesnt come in a large enough center bore.

    Back to the drawing board I guess.

    Ok guys looks like I'm going to stick with 15's. That being said. Which wheel do you prefer? Also be aware that the wheels pictured have a smooth lip. My wheels will have a step lip similar to what an American Racing TT II has.

    Fronts will be 15x6 rear 15x12
    Foose four 42


    US Mags Bonneville


    Rear tires will be Hoosier Pro street 31/16.5-15
    Fronts Yokohama AVID ENvigor 175/65-15

    I really like those Foose wheels, but I think the US Mags will pop on your truck!

    Kinda depends on your color selection. Both are great looking wheels. Be aware that by choosing 15's you will limit your tire choices a ton! Tire makers are shifting to larger and larger ID tires, getting away from the "old" sizes, plus the brake calipers on disks can really make 15's tight.

    At the bottom of my post it gives you the tire sizes I will be running. Brakes are a none issue. The Wilwood Drawings have been presented to the company that makes the wheels, and Ok'd by them for these wheel choices. Also the color of the truck is listed in the very first post of this thread and the wheel colors choices are as posted above.

    My only other choice is to pay a lot of cash to have one off barrels made to get a 16x12 or 17x14 wheel for the larger tires that Hoosier makes.

    Sorry, I missed the tire size info beneath the photos and I don't often go back to the start of a thread that I've followed from the start. I'd probably opt for the US Mags Bonneville's given that the truck will be black.

    Good, someone saved me digging through the thread for base color!

    Chrome on black really pops, but I do like the flat black wheels, they look like understated power;stealthy. Perhaps an opportunity for photoshop artists to give you a preview.

    Update*

    Truck will be hauled back to my home garage on Sunday. The list above and then some has been knocked out. Now it is time to finish about 4-5 hours of small crap and then pulled apart to start on the paint process.

    I see a few sharpie markers and a case of zip-lock bags in my future

    Now for those that were interested in the process of the under dash brake pedal assembly. Below are a few pictures. Yes, it is way over built but we are dealing with one of the most important parts of the truck...Brakes.

    It all started with paper and a pen. It saved me a good bit of material in the end.



    Next I cut the base plate and side plates out of .250 plate and the pivot bolt is .625"



    Test Fit



    Pivot tube is 1" OD chromoly that is bored .750" for the .625" bronze bushings. I cut the master arm and pedal attachment out of .375". All welded up!



    Final test fit. I'm waiting on my water jet guy to cut out the pedal arm that I drew in CAD earlier today.




    The suggested pedal ratio from Wilwood was 5.5:1 for their 7/8" bore tandem master and their disc brakes. Final finished pedal ratio is 5.48:1 so I think I did ok. I also managed to keep the pedal at a decent resting height from the floor and the pedal does completely compress the master without contacting the floor. I have about .300" to accommodate for sound deadening and carpet.

    DXF. File of the pedal



    I also managed to get the brake lines made and the braided line tabs welded on the frame.


    Stainless heat shields made and installed.



    Throttle cable and pedal done (Pedal will be changing to a black version)



    Inside A/C Lines and heater hoses are also done.



    Bed to filler neck tube was also welded in. This will be ground down and welded several time to create a nice rounded edge. ( Dont mind the arch on the cap some idiot hit the pedal while the torch was laying in the bed... Yeah that would be me )

    Thanks. Hopefully I will get the pedal arm next week and can weld the plate onto it for the pad. Ready to get it done with so I can take it all apart
