    Wheel restoration

    Anybody know of a good wheel restoration shop? I'm not having any luck finding somebody with a lathe that can go deep enough to cut the face of my 15x10 Western Cyclone wheels. Somewhere in GA is preferred, but I can ship them if need be. Looking for a place to check for cracks/warping...

    Vintage mag question

    Not always, but usually, there will be a manufacturer's name or logo cast into the back of the wheel, along with the max load rating and size.

    Vintage mag question

    Oh, OK. If they were Westerns, I'd be interested. But being that those are 15x10, and 6 lug, you could spend a little time cleaning them up and probably get close to a grand for them on eBay. The set I bought on eBay was the first set I saw come up for sale in a year of looking. 5 lug ones...

    Vintage mag question

    Are they Westerns? The 15 spoke Cyclone IIs? If you'd be willing to ship them to 30214, I am interested, depending on the condition.

    Vintage mag question

    Good choice in wheels! I love this design. These are the ones they recommended, you need the 7/16x20 1" long. https://lugnutguys.com/products/mag-lug-nut-7-16-20-round-top-1-0-shank-zinc-washer?variant=31082238214219

    Vintage mag question

    Good to hear, that is kinda what I figured, just wasn't positive, and didn't want to make a catastrophic mistake based on ill conceived judgement. Only downside is that the one oddball wheel is also slightly shorter in the area where the spokes sprout out of the middle. It is barely noticable...

    Vintage mag question

    Yeah, I'm pretty sure these trucks are lug centric. I think that the washers are only crucial on the unilug wheels, but these aren't unilug. I have the 1" long shank nuts, and the wheels are 1" thick at the lug area. I got the ones that Lug Nut Guys said I needed, and they seem to fit great...

    Vintage mag question

    Yeah, it's .68" on all of them. I can slip the shank of the nut down into all 24 lug holes on all 4 wheels, and it fits nice and snug. I dunno about how the hub bore fits the truck, I don't have the truck here now, it's been in the shop since June. I'm hoping to get it back next month, but...

    Vintage mag question

    Plenty of them out there, but the problem is they're all either 5 lug or 6 lug but only 8.5 wide. Or not a Western, so I'd need to buy a whole new set lol.

    Vintage mag question

    I've got a set of 1970s Western Cyclone II wheels for my truck. These use the shank lug nuts with a washer. They are 6x5.5, not unilug. I thought I had a matching set, but one of them is slightly different. It's got an "RI" cast into the inside of the wheel next to the "15x10" casting. This...

    73-74 grille on a '77

    What all would be involved in putting a '73-74 Chevy grille on my '77 GMC? Would I need the older trucks core support? Is there a way to put the GMC badge on instead of the bowtie? Thanks.

    Headlight bezel restoration

    I have found a guy on one of the first gen cummins groups I'm in who takes parts down to Mexico to get them chromed the proper way, with all the old school environmentally disasterous chemicals. He quoted me $500 to chrome my bezels and upper/lower grille trim. Plus shipping the parts to him...

    GM part number for door latches

    Looking to buy some NOS door latches for both doors on my '77 K15, but I'd like to search for them by the correct GM part number so I know I'm getting the correct ones. I've seen them listed by several different part #s on eBay, so it's kinda confusing. Does anyone know what they are for each...

    15x10 with 3.5" backspacing?

    I still want those wheels with that backspace lol.... they look badass. Where exactly will I need to trim the fenders? And will I still be able to use the original wheel opening trim if I do it? Or would it be better to just get a 6" lift instead of 4"?

    15x10 with 3.5" backspacing?

    Looks like I can get them in 15x9 with 4.5" BS... would that be any better?

    15x10 with 3.5" backspacing?

    I'm thinking about getting some new 15x10 US Mag Indys for my '77 K15. 4" BDS lift, 35x12.50 tires are being used. These seem to only be available with 3.5" of backspacing. Does anybody know if that will work OK?

    Western Bullets

    Does anybody have a picture of a set of Western Bullets on a K10/K15? I've got an opportunity to buy a restored set of 15x10s, complete with center caps and lug nuts/washers. Interested to know if the original style flat caps will clear the hubs?

    NP203 boot

    I've been looking. Nothing but used. Some are in OK shape. But I think a leather one would look really nice in the truck. I might have to just have one made at an upholstery shop. If my mom was still alive, she'd be able to make me a nice one.

    NP203 boot

    Has anybody had any luck with a universal leather shift boot for their 203 that works with the stock trim ring, or comes with one that will work? I'd like to retain the shift plate if possible, but I can get a ball with the pattern instead if I have to. I got the one from USA1, but it just...

    Door wiring conduits

    That's why the body shop is doing mine lol. I got the conduits from USA1 or LMC, can't remember where. They're round on both ends.

    Thanks! I never even noticed the dimples. I'll pass this along to the body shop.

    Floor mats

    Anyone know if the '81-87 floor mats will fit the floor on the '73-80 trucks? '77 K15 automatic.

    Door wiring conduits

    I'm doing a power window/lock conversion on my '77, and the truck has no door conduits, nor the holes where they would go if it was so equipped. Can someone with a '77-80 truck take a pic and some measurements for me so I know where to drill the holes in the door and the front of the cab? Thanks!

    Dakota Digital RTX gauge cluster

    Yeah, I had considered that too. Did a bunch of research on it a while back, figuring out what parts I'd need to make it all work with the old style dash switch. Kinda forgot all about it over the last few months though lol.
