When I get the rot outta my '66, I am going to blow it over in primer , maybe grey or black. Not sure which.
Just my opinion though, lose those wheels dude...! | | | | | Joined: Jul 2005 Posts: 227 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Jul 2005 Posts: 227 | the wheels were cheap. $50 a pop and i needed 5on5 with my for my swap over. eventually i want to go with some stocktons...

Instead of tacking your post on an old thread you should create a new thread. You are asking a question unrelated to the current thread and you'll get more readers if it's a stand alone thread. At the bottom of the page you'll see "Post New Topic". That's where you want to be. To assist those who will try to help you you'll need to add the year & model of your truck and the exact problem you're having with the alignment process. I'm sure you'll have plenty of advise.

By the by, Tuxedo Black was a Chevy name for the standard black on passenger cars in the '60's. I don't think it was ever used in reference to trucks other than the El Camino, though it was the same color.
