Beag's 67 Chevelle. Supercharged Summer

Of all the wheels you have mentioned those are my favorite so far.
I say whatever you like is what matters. I know you are getting our opinions, but who cares what we think? I also see a lot of people put something on just to be different even and I wonder if they even like it or they just want to be one of a kind. (I don't think that is the case here). I always do whatever I want with a vehicle, regardless of whether its popular or accepted or even too popular. Although obviously you see things you like on vehicles everywhere and it sways your decisions in the future.
What ever you do I'm sure it will look good. Just get this out and drive it. I'm not sure how it is back in your area now days but I never see any remotely cool cars cruising around out here. Everything got scrapped years ago or parked and left to gain value as a barn find or whatever. I hardly even see 80s g-bodys or Camaros or anything that used to be popular to own back when I was younger. All the younger kids now days have cheap ass garbage cars or brodozer diesels.

I'm just fishing for the popular opinion from the guys I respect. Which is CK5.
Ultimately, it doesn't matter what anyone thinks but me. I'll continue to build cars/trucks/whatever to my liking. Is it flattering when someone comments you on your ride you slaved over, dumped tons of cash into? Hell yeah it is. No doubt about it. I can't hardly get the C10 out of the garage these days without someone saying something. Sure, I haven't done much to it, but it's still flattering.
Anyway I really think I am between the western 8 spoke superlites, and these last set that I stole from freiburger.
As much as I love the basic 5 spoke design, I think I want something different for this.
For some reason people always tell me to put Rally's on the C10. I always respond, I spent 800 dollars on these wheels why would I change them?
(Honestly I don't think Rally's would fit with the look of the hugger orange strips and cowl hood)
Anyway, when I look at budget- the freiburger wheels get the nod. The superlites run about 400 apiece, the car needs alot of little stuff to spend 1600 on wheels alone. So I am definitely leaning towards these to get the car on it's feet again, so to speak.
And no worries Luke, you won't be able to pull me out of this thing during the summer. One reason I have been dragging my feet on finishing the C10 like I want to is my inability to pull it off the road. My 79 Stepside turned into a 15 year project, I don't want that for the C10. Because I want to drive it. So now since I got something else, I'll be able to commit to fixing and finished that truck.
I also don't want to this for that car. Just mild mods to make it more modern and friendly while keeping from repeating the same fate of the PO. Not getting enjoyed. It hasn't be tagged since 09.

Sounds just like it looks
Now let’s see someeh
Took it around the block, has zero brakes
I mean zero! Master cylinder is full to.
So looking like I might as well start pricing some front disks....

I gotta figure out what trans it is. Really whines. Doubt it's a m22 though, probably more likely a m21 or m20, anyone Know where to look for a code on the casing?
You don’t need brakes for a John force style brake burn
On a side note, I’ve got a performance world brake kit on the 67. It was rebadged as that, opened up the boxes and it was a mbm kit. Was fairly reasonable $$ wise as well fwiw.
M22 is the only one that you can hear...as far as I remember anyway.
Sounds good running!

My Mom’s 69 SS has a M21, and you can hear it. Super T10 as wellM22 is the only one that you can hear...as far as I remember anyway.

Nope. Have to argue with you about the super T 10!
My dad had one in his 82 c10 for over 15 years until it was swapped with a th350. It was quiet. I drove in that truck a shit ton!
