Those wheels look nice. Amazing how much better that style looks without the fake rivets
Great ideas have always encounter violent opposition from mediocre minds.

I went ahead and ordered the first ones, 62 series OEM from Wheel Vintiques ( in 15/7 and 15/8 ) and received the standard one month away ETA from Summit.
They come bare, and I will have them powder coated Wimbledon White when they arrive. Then I will stick the stock hubcaps on them, and I hope the truck will be running.
Then I will revisit the tire sizes, Probably 225/70/15 Radial TA on front and 275/60/15 Comp TA Drag Radials for the back.

re: Opinions on wheels and tire sizes.
Finding matching big and littles is a problem with high profile tires. I had Firestones on my 72 and had some that were all white letter but not exact. I have also researched the BFGs and found the same thing, similiar but no exact match for basically stock 235s up front and wider tires on back.
