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. :nabble_anim_handshake:

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. :nabble_crossed-fingers-20-pixel_orig:

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.

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.
