Very nice looking truck. Did you paint it or did the original paint buff out?

Beautiful rig. What was the cost to have the wheels widened? Who did it? Stockton. Love the black color.

Got a great deal on the wheels. Bolton Wheel in Gardena Ca. widened the wheels for $35.00 ea. Powder coating ran another $30.00 per.

Mike conveniently 'forgot' to mention that HIS price may have reflected the fact that he was in his fireman's uniform at the time! Sheesh!

Mike, can I borrow your uniform sometime?

what was their turn around time? I was thinking of going with Stockton to do mine, but heard they take FOR EVERRrrrr....

 

[Ghetto Fireman]

Do you really think the uniform made a difference in the price?


Fast turn-around, two weeks for the widening of the wheels, and about three days for the powder coating. 2 different companies, Bolton wheels was much more expensive for powder coating. I found a powder coating company who did the wheels, but I had to bead blast them myself. Turned out great.
