Default Truck down for a while :(

Well last Friday it was storming on my way to work just cruising and I hydroplaned at 45mph and while correcting the guy behind me hit me and spun me into the median. Needless to say I was bummed but I have some special plans for it. Im going to take this as an opportunity to make it even better. Anyway here are some pics

Damn that sucks. I'd rock it either way with the black or the white caps.

Back rim/tire setup is 15x10 diamond racing wheels with 6.5" BS and 325/50/15 nitto 555r's. They are usually good in the rain but I guess they were too far gone. Yea Im digging the all black, just simple.

I'm surprised more people dont know about those wheels. Never heard of that company. Wont be as light as Bogarts obviously but seem to be about 1/4 the price.

You're running a flip kit out back right? Tires tuck okay? Any more pics of the setup?

Did you just grind the factory calipers in back or are you running S10s?

Thanks thats my dad's 46 chevy. I did a drum swap from a 05-07 truck, they just slip right on. Yea I have a flip kit but that will soon be gone . The tires stick out about 3/16" but with about 1/4"-1/2" more BS they would tuck just fine. They are 33lb a piece so not light but you cant beat the price. I paid $270 shipped for the pair powder coated too

Oh ****!! That really sucks! Must have hit pretty hard to push the bed into the cab corner. Hopefully your frame is OK, and you too.
