Hello everyone!! I've just joined the bullnose club after several years of falling in love with these trucks.
Here is mine... 52k original miles!! was a Washington truck her whole life and was garage kept for most of it.  Off the bat, I am trying to change out the wheels it came with. I am looking for the 15 inch, 8-spoke white painted wagon wheels and am planning on also putting the black center caps on as well. The center caps I have found already. However, I am having a lot of trouble as the reproduction white steel wheels I am finding do not have the pre-drilled holes for the center caps. Any advice anyone? Thanks! |

Welcome! Glad you joined.
 Nice truck! Looks like it is excellent condition. In fact, the burled wood trim on the dash even looks great. I can't answer your question about the wheels, but I do like the ones you are looking for, so good luck.  By the way, where's home? I ask because we have a map (Bullnose Forum/Member's Map in the menu) and can add you with a city/state or zip.

Welcome!
 Your new truck sure is in great shape. The nap of the velour seats and that the burl isn't sun faded purple say a lot as to how pampered it's been. You might post a WTB (want to buy) listing down in the marketplace section for a set of wagon wheels. I'm not too familiar with the black center caps.

Very nice and really clean!
Congratulations for your new purchase!  I agree with Gary, and the steering wood finish appears to remain intact, where usually worn and washed out by the driver’s fingers “playing” around the control buttons.
