My 57 A120 4WD dust off

[Luv2fish]

Almost a year since purchase so here are a few updates…
Tires and rims were the biggest $$$ addition so far and I’m starting to enjoy it more now that it’s turned into a driving project .
Wish list items include seat upholstery .
Been challenging but fun looking for parts and IHP America has been a big help so far !

first pics …

a year later

Just curious, what kind of mileage do you get?

That’s a good question… really haven’t gotten around to checking .
It has a 3 speed transmission and 4.77 gears .
Maybe 12-15 mpg range.

Wide 6 wheels? Where did you find non-split rims?

Truck originally came with 17.5. “ one piece steel rims… Nice rims but tires are extremely expensive “ if “ you can find them . So I had custom 16” rims with the big 6 lug pattern made
I can get you the info if your interested.
Tires are 7.50 x16 Power Kings .
here’s a better shot of the wheels…

Had a place out of So Cal make them . Very happy with them. Cost was 228.00 each for 16”x 6 “ and that included powder coating.
Not sure if I can post the name of the outfit here or not .

In this case please do post who made these for you as we are curious. We have used Stockton Wheel in the past, but they are hard to reach and take a long time to get anything done.

I’ll start a separate thread just for the wheels
