Thanks, I toiled over what rims to use and am glad I made the choice I did in the end. The hub caps make them pop! I also have the ones that came off which I plan to eventually put a more aggressive 33x12.5 fon or wheeling.

Plumbing was next. Nothing too exciting about the plumbing process...
I took my radiator to the local shop and had them swap the side of the top nipple, scoot the bottom nipple over and change them both to 1.25". I also had them add a 1/8" input at the top of the radiator for steam. Using this configuration, I was able to use stock Tahoe hoses and just trim them to fit. Worked perfectly. I used 5/8 hose for both water pump connections, 1/2 inch hose for cruiser connections and picked up some brass 5/8 T fittings to tie it all together.
You can see the pipe for the steam line in this pic. I have had no issues so far.
One of the hoses off the Tahoe spaghetti has the correct bend to tie into the heater control valve, so some trimming and it was mated to the cruiser.
You can see the T fittings and the final tie ins to the rear heater in this one. Never mind the crushed air filter. You have to take the plastic off before you start it or that happens.
