[cosmic12]

I am looking but haven't had any luck yet....for wheels I need 14 or 15 frt----skinny 5"
15 to 18 rear----Fat with a reverse off set. Don't want chrome, would really like older 5 spoke alum with grey spokes. There is a few odds and ends but I have most of what I need for now What is N.P.D.?

 

[dykstra]

I think NPD stands for National Parts Depot.

what bolt pattern do you have? we have something called ,,,turkey rod run,,,in daytona speedway for 4 days during thanksgiving weekend, it,s a giant swap meet and hotrod car show,,,, i can look for ya,,, it takes all 4 days to go thru all the venders,,we take the toterhome and stay there,,

 

[cosmic12]

That sounds like great fun!!!
Bolt pattern is 5x4.75 GM
Still looking for Chev inline 6 hot rod parts also..194 - 215 -230 -250 -292.
I have a 250 now for it but made a deal on a 292 so I will run the 250 and build the chit outa the 292. The books say its an easy 500hp for the street.
It would be so cool to do smoken burn outs and then show'em a little old stright 6:rofl:

 

[cosmic12]

with the new frt end I was able to roll it outside today. First time its seen the sun since I brought it home.
Now I can see that it needs so badly to be channeled, gotta get that body dropped about 6"s, but saddly I am done for a while I leave Monday for Ill. untill X-mas.

 

[imco offshore]

looks good. can,t wait to see it droped

 

[Trim'd Up]

Definitely needs dropped. Looks good though. Sorry to here about going to IL for so long. I live here, I know.

 

[Buoy]
