Lead wheel weight.....:_):

Did you see what it reads though? BF Goodrich.

 

[churchmouse]

OK...read the article. 4speed........454......most cool.

 

[RustyHornet]

That's a damn sweet truck, CP. I've been thinking about my current fleet and re-evaluating... Finding a need for a daily truck.

Amen hallelujah

Saw that.

Lots of folks have never seem a lead wheel weight. Factory alloy wheels are the norm now.

Yup. I didn't know Goodrich had stores.. I get excited when I find stuff like that, I'm normal... Don't worry about me.

I'd like to find a square body GM, short bed with either a 4.3 v6 or I6 with a 5 speed manual and 2wd for daily pig use. Would tear off all unneeded stuff and just make it simple as can be. Clean it up underhood, coat the underside with something, clean up and simplify the interior, spray on bedliner and maybe paint the outside in a matte color of some sort. Lower it and do a simple painted steel wheel with dog dish caps.

About 13 coats of flat black rustoleum. Very redneck.

 

[RustyHornet]

13 coats!? Damn. Nothing wrong with redneck.

 

[RustyHornet]

I painted a set of wheels for our '78 truck tonight. Epoxy sprayed them then base/clear. Factory white, just freshening up for some new tires. Didn't take pics of course....

 

[ChristianPatriot]

Well maybe it was only 5 or 6. Still...

 

[RustyHornet]

Well that's much better. My dad always taught me less is more. 2-3 coats depending on color and how it covers. When spraying base coat is always 3 minimum, clear is 2-3 depending one what the part is.

Nothing wrong with the buzz bomb. I use them all day long. They certainly have their place.
