My Flatbed Swap

[Burritoboi5]

I put my fuel filler in. Trying to keep the look clean. Anyone know who makes aluminum dually rims in a 16x6 for a 5/8 stud?

Why not just drill the holes out?

those wheels should be hub piloted

[Burritoboi5]

They are hub piloted as are my spacers, but the tire shop won't modify the wheel because of their warranty. Their loss I guess. I found these that are the same stud and lugnut dimensions as what I am running currently or was running. In fact I'm pretty positive my wheels are old eagle alloys.

Well I have been driving the truck with all six wheels on for about two weeks now, and my backordered toolboxes and mud flaps finally arrived. I still need to do the bodywork on the cab and paint it, as well recess my license plate into the bed. I should have my headboard in a few weeks. The next big thing is probably going to be installing my compressor and flame thrower setup, all of that will be housed in my passenger side toolbox. THe boxes are UWS's that I removed the ID plate from.

Today I sanded her down with 150 and recoated with Tung oil, I'll throw on another heavy coat tomorrow morning and let it cure in the sun before I startup the truck and shower it in black speckles haha. This bed is a lot of work, but I've been using it and the sanding was just me being anal and wanting to get out all the noticeable little dings before I coated it again.

Color is off because of the sun and cell phone pictures




It looks more like this

that looks freaking sweet man!!! i thought about a flat bed on the 92 but it just wouldnt seem right ha, not too mention it hardly ever hauls anything. anywho, keep up the good work!!

thats one of the nicest flat bed setups i've seen. btw, what size tires are those? how much gap between the duals?

thanks,
daryl

[Burritoboi5]

Thanks guy, I appreciate all the compliments. To answer the tire question they're 315/75R16s, and I'm running a 3 inch spacer in between.

I'm not a fan of flatbeds at all, but that looks great on your truck. Dually trucks are the only ones that can pull off flatbeds, in my opinion.

Looks awesome, man, but I have to ask. Why would you get a picture of Ellis on your mudflaps?

[ellis93]

Thanks again gents, I had a few beers today and recessed my plate with my buddy. Here's how she came out.
