try one from a vw.

excellent pics. must have taken them friday, saturdays crowd was like a mall  on the 24th of december!  good show to go to as there is something for everyone, cars, drags, swap meet, free beer if your a bakersfield fence crow ( we canadians put a big dent in that). but like larry said cars seemed to be down from last year. still a good show!

duly noted..

so my wheels are 6 x 15 with a 1 inch positive offset. my buddy at the parts store did some checking about rotors and is confused whether the metric rotors means 80's type cars or  the studs are metric, what i have heard done and maybe trying to achieve here is finding a gm hub and rotor that if put on a flat surface is not as tall as the stock 74 camaro which would then bring the tires inboard and give me a little more clearance. i like the look of your brake setup and will keep it in mind for my 35 ford when i get to do it. thanks for the tire tip will give that a shot too.

thanks for the tip, will give it a try. gord.

sorry for not being clear, it's the inside of the outer fender. i'm using an old set of 15 inch american racing 5 spokes with a 215-65-15 tire, can't remember the offset without pulling the tire. i could/should replace the coils to lift it up a bit but looking at it if the wheels were inboard a little bit my clearance would be answered. thanks

it's not often i post here but like to read the information passed around here. i  have run into a snag with my 59 chev p.u., it has a 74 camaro clip in it and at some point someone has taken a coil out of it, now that it's ready for the road i have clearance issues. tire rub on inner fender. i have heard of using different calipers and so on to bring the track width inboard but don't have any info on this. has anyone done this or have any info on doing this, some part numbers and shopping list would be greatly appreciate. i was hoping to drive this thing before our summer runs out. thanks in advance.

thanks gentlemen for your input. a friend  had a diagram of a 58 chev passenger car that gave me the layout, but i was not sure which bulbs did what and was surprised  that all four lights were hi beam and the two outside ones were low beam. gord.

i don't post here very often but now find i need some help. i am in the process of wiring my 59 chev pickup and need some info on wiring the dual headlights, which lights are low beam and how they work for the hi beam. my wiring kit is for single headlights and the original stuff is long gone. a quick sketch or lead to site would be greatly appreciated. thanks gord.

if you are going the 3 leg resistor way try quaele electronics on gov't  st next door to acklands.

same sort of thing happened to a friend of mine in vancouver, it happened on thursday and again on friday and he was hoping it would happen again on saturday.

Thats good to know, thanks for the info. A few of us Canucks are heading down to the Hot Rod Reunion in Bakersfield so i might find something in the swap meet area.

The Olds wheel  so they tell me is on a 55 Chev pickup, so i am interested in what they did.  If i can cut through the blackberries the Olds wheel would be a good swap meet item. I like the looks of a 55 Buick Wheel as they are flat which suits my fit in the truck. Perhaps another question i should ask is, would other makes Ford, Mopar etc. share the same spline? There seems to be more of them for sale on Ebay than G.M. Thanks. Gord

Thanks Enjenjo...greatly appreciated. I just heard of a 60 Olds. buried in a blackberry patch, i am hoping the wheel is still there.

My 59 Chev pickup has taken a turn here and i have changed directions with it.  I am running an 80's Pontiac tilt column, my question is what older model steering wheels will fit the spline? What i would like to do is find something late 50's early 60's, Buick, Chev, Olds, whatever has some character to it. Are all G.M. splines the same? Thanks for any input. Gord.
