    No question, #3
     
  7. Option 1 ... if one of your boy's' big block Fords comes your way. All you would need then is some zoomies built. He's handy, bust it out. Be an interesting daily drive. Nice truck any way you choose. Clean.

    Less is more , option #3
     
  9. Well the old timers around here always say if you got only two light wheels run them on the back. :D

    I personally would run steelies all around no caps and chrome acorn nuts if I could swing them. it is just a look that I have always liked. It may look cool with spyders, if it is 5 on 4.5 I just happen to have a new old set of cal customs that I won't be using. LOL

    Anyway that's my opinion.

    The different wheels F&R fad only lasted a short while & didn't look good on street driven cars.
    If the Coker wheels take stock caps, gloss black wheels & baldies would be pretty clean.

  11. If those are the only 3 options on the table then its #3

    I'd keep hunting 15" 5 spokes for the front
     
  12. A round of steelies please

    Black steel and spyders. Skip white walls since you don't wash the truck much.

    Option three is what I like best. It's the most utilitarian. I think it'd look decent without caps, too.

    Option 3 but no caps. It's a work truck after all.

    I know I'm swimmin' against the tide but I'd do option 1 with the steels black, chrome acorns and dust cap. Then run it like that till a vintage pair of 6" or 7" nonreverse ET's come down the pike. Around these parts, thats what would of been seen ; till bucks were saved for the front pair.

    Steelies all around with the dogdish caps, no rings. Slightly lower in front. Maybe slightly smaller rubber in front too.

    Have you thought about a different color for the wheels? What color is the upholstery? Or any other accent colors already on the truck that could be used? It looks a little too much like a "work truck" right now with the same color wheels and almost level stance.
     
  24. Option #3 unless you are able to locate the 15" 5 spokes for the front. I've never been fond of two different wheel arrangements from front to back. Just looks like you are unable to make a decision.

    If it was mine, I'd go with Option 3.

  26. I like the steel wheels and poverty caps all the way around.. Looks finished, not flashy and not trashy.

    I'm with alchemy. Dog dish caps with a different wheel color – black would be easy.
