When it comes to washing a vehicle that has been forgotten for decades, there are many things to take into consideration. Larry walks Davin through the proper steps needed to remove the years of dirt, mold, and dust without damaging the paint underneath.

I fully support that and I'm also glad to see you get it looking, 'as-is', as good as it can. It's a beautiful truck and you've done an outstanding job with it. Thank you for all your hard work on it and sharing that with all of us!

    Man, all I can say as a new Subscriber and just watched the whole sequence on this Awesome Chevy Truck, as a longtime Graphic Designer who now rehabs mainly Euro Wagons and SUVS but have had a zillion various older cars - I absolutely agree with putting the original as found original Wheels and Hubcaps back. Those cheesy white trailer wheels are killing the Whole Vibe of the Truck. The rest - especially that great original restore in the engine bay and awesome original seat cover/interior - The Wheels are the most important first impresssion. PS I wouldn't put any cheesy 'Protectant' coating on this truck - Ever. It's all about Originality on this Workin' Man's Rig. Great Job, awesome Stovie Chevy

    The wheels just look wrong. Back to some original 16" split rims with 7.50x16 bias tires. They should be about 31,5" tall and help the gear ratio. Don't forget the factory "Baby Moon" style hub caps. It's the little things. I change tires out on spit rims with my rim-clamp tire machine all the time. Most have a safety device.

Lots of us have addressed this when going away from split rims and keeping similar dimensions as originals to keep the stock look. Just gotta buy repro hubcap clips and screw or weld on to use the orig. Hubcaps.
