88GMCtruck's 98 Silverado Towpig Build: "Black Fox"

[TerryH]

Hey Dave, which valve stem extenders did you get to work with your Welds? I need to get a set for mine. I looked back thru the thread but couldn't find them. Thanks!

What does the 88 look like compared to the 02?

worlds apart

Terry, I assume you are running stock steel inners and no spacers, correct? If that is the case a 4" straight extension should work fine for you. I had this set prior to the wheels swap, and test fitted them with out the spacer on the welds.

On my truck, with the wheel spacer i needed longer and slightly bent extension.

Thanks Dave. I am running the stock steel inners without spacers. I can't seem to get the valve stem on the inner lined up with a hole in the Welds no matter how I have either wheel positioned. Perhaps I'm going to have to use the steel braided flexible ones or am I missing something?

Here is the steel inner wheel.

The valve stem is lined up between the lugs..... and there is your problem..... Your wheels are actually different than mine - You have 8 holes I have 10. Yours are spaced with the 8-lug holes. Mine, being a differing number vary.

Yours, I recall you saying they were dated from 96 and thus would be Aluma-Dual III:

Mine are dated 88 and are Aluma-Dual II:

If you were running spacers the lugs would be clocked and then a straight extension would work with your wheels. Mine do not matter as I can clock them because the holes vary. Looks like flexible is the solution for you.

Ahhh... I see now. I ordered the S/S flex ones. Thanks for your help, Dave.

I know they are dirty right now.... I need to get better pictures of both all cleaned up

Also, have a few more things up my sleeve for the dually. More lighting upgrades.

I'm jealous of your trucks. You make all the mods factory looking and they look really clean!

Thanks. I really hate things that look like they have been just thrown on there.

Anyway.....

I had some filed complaints about the bumper lights not matching - and yes, they were temporary as they are what I had at the moment. I finally picked up a let of the LMC glass 88-89 lowbeams and threw some HIDs in them. Matches the front lighting MUCH better.

Don't piss me off. This is a lot of light, and yes it has been used before.

Few poser shots showing my 88 and Devin's 96. All 3 trucks here 454 NV4500 14bolt trucks. Can anyone say "gas mileage"?
