Just about done with my '62 C10 except some wheels, its been a long process as a 16 year old with three sports lacks time and money lol. Any ideas for wheels?????

whats wrong with those wheels? they might be the only 2 sets made. when they came out in the 80's i thought they were the best looking wheel i had ever seen, i think i was about the only one though. i still like them on that 70 chevy, and they are not bad on that truck. to ea. his own.

Well, mine are Brand new, but so old, you can't get them anymore. But, I'm keeping mine, since they are truck wheels, and steel.

when i had my parts store, i sold a lot of wheels, but only one set of those and i bought them. hang onto them, might be worth something one day.

Hey Denny, I'm old and out of style too.... But that let me hang around !!!!!!

Thanks Mike. Yes, I plan on keeping them. They may be out of style for some, but I like the trucky look of them. The fronts are even 6 lug. I had to wait to get them. I ordered and paid for the wheels, and then the guy says, hey, I'm still looking for the fronts you wanted. I told him to try hard, cause if I can't get the 6 lug fronts, he can keep the rears also. Not in a bad way, I just wanted a matching set.

He found 2 sitting on a shelf in Pittsburg.

when was this? i probably had a set on the shelf in richmond,va.

i think i has a few sets of daves and dennies laying around on the shelf when the store burned down in 95. how did ya'll get out?

Glad you had wings, Denny.... That fall off the top shelf really HURT.....With all the flames and stuff, didn't notice till I got out....

this is what you call having a bad day, when everything you have goes up in smoke, because of a gas tank and a drop light.

that's a bad blow Lt1, I hope you had good insurance. I feel for ya man.

My engine is back in and hooked up mostly except for getting a chrome altenator for it.
Don't know about Paint yet, I have to put door handles and stuff in so we'll see.

Looking good, Brick. Heck, you are almost ready for spring. !!!!!!

Sorry brickman, but I couldn't take all that white.

now you're looking good brickman!!!!!

LQQKs great Brick, Ain't it nice when everything is clean & Shinny ??

thanks Denny, something is wrong with my camera or my cpu. Every pic is either too dark or too light, oh well looks better now. What did you do, just lighten it up?

Engine is running, working on putting the radiator in. I also moved the tranny oil cooler underneath the car so I have maximum air flow through the radiator. Next paint the dash and install new power windows with new glass. I'm having a ball seeing things come together, can't wait to get back to work on her.

Great progress Brick. That Denny Dude is really something with this coputer tuff, huh???

I'll say Dave, very nice. Have you ever worked with aluminum radiators? Is there anything special I need to know? I figure I have to surround it with rubber to protect it I'm sure. It will be interesting to see if they work as good as they claim that they do. Also has anybody used those Cool Flex solid hoses? I am leaning toward using them because they look very cool and are permenant. Any advice is always welcome. Oh, has anyone ever had a chrome tranny pan leak from the plug and how did you fix it?
