    Rims won't fit on rear with drums.

    Unless I'm mistaken you have disc brakes up front. You won't have any clearance issues with the front. So, you're discouraged to the point of just doing nothing. No worries, if you decide at some point that you'd like to see exactly what the fix is, just let me know and I'll pull off a wheel and...

    '77 Vandura radio not working

    Nice van! There's a red 75 across town from me that I'd like to get ahold of. Put some zoomies on like back in the day.

    Rims won't fit on rear with drums.

    Mine fit great after a little trimming. But, do as you will. I've described exactly what is needed, can't do any more than that.

    Rims won't fit on rear with drums.

    Those wheels must've been balanced while the paint was still wet. I sure didn't have that kind of paint damage when mine were done.

    Tripod mirrors on lowered trucks?

    My truck is lowered, I have the sport mirrors. They are on the small side but sure do look the best.

    Rims won't fit on rear with drums.

    I repeat the question. Did you take a hammer to the raised areas around the stud holes thinking they were causing the issue?

    Rims won't fit on rear with drums.

    OP, how did the fresh paint around all six wheel stud holes get so dinged up? What surface did that mounting face contact? The chipped paint on the edges of the wheel center openings are exactly what I experienced, But the mounting surface of the wheel never contacted the drum until after I...

    Rims won't fit on rear with drums.

    This drum appears to have the same lip, looks like the two notches are the only difference.

    Rims won't fit on rear with drums.

    Take a wheel and a drum to your local fab shop. Let them have a look. Take one of your factory wheels as well for comparison. I won't cost you anything to have them look at it and you do not want to machine down your factory drums. Buying different drums without test fitting will very likely...

    Rims won't fit on rear with drums.

    I was referring to the outer edges of the drum.

    Rims won't fit on rear with drums.

    The issue is simply that the wheel centers on a factory wheel fade away between the welds and the centers on the aftermarket wheels don't. I would take pics of both to show you but I'd have to dismount a wheel, and I know my info is correct. Do you have your old wheels? Compare them and you'll...

    Rims won't fit on rear with drums.

    If someone can verify that c10 and k10 drums are the same you'll be in business with the fix I described.

    Rims won't fit on rear with drums.

    I bought the same wheels. Test fit them before painting and had the same trouble. The wheel inner is manufactured a little differently than the factory wheels. A couple of hours with a Dremel wheel along the edges of the inner wheel openings and all was well. My truck is a 77 c10 and the wheels...

    Cowl Induction or stock?

    I like a cowl hood on a 69 Camaro. To me it just seems out of place on a squarebody.

    Bucket seat belt sleeves

    Fab up brackets with a 90-degree twist and hole in each end. Bolt one end to the floor and the other to the belt/sleeve. Keep the brackets as short as possible and use good quality hardware.

    Cowl Induction or stock?

    Stock wheels, stock hood IMHO. That ornament is cool as hell.

    327 vs 350 for a daily driver

    I have my old 327 sitting in in a crate. Came out of a 64 c10 I drove for a while before I wrecked it :( Double hump heads, kinda cool. Hopefully one of these years I can pick up something to put it in.
