That is cool looking project you got going on there. You plan on replacing those old split rims with steel or aluminum wheels? @Ernie D.

@SmokeyWolf Im replacing the original split ring rims, with newer 22.5 open center rims, Im keeping the dayton hubs on my truck, also, switching the budd hubs in the rear to go back to dayton hubs. Im keeping my truck as close to original as I can, while updating it

Hey ya'll, sorry for not updating in a long time, between work and other real life obligations, I hadnt been on my pc that much. I have been working on my truck and making progress, I do have alot of photos that I need to upload and share, but for now, I do have a little short video I can share, I just fabbed up all my exhaust and I wanted to hear the results, and test the fuel system that I plumbed before I done the exhaust. Hope yall enjoy, I promise I will get the photos uploaded soon 8-)
