Kyle94 Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Drove it... thinking about picking these up tomorrow and painting them black, or re-whiteing them... or...? Steel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingman Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Average price if you mean steal, but yes they are made of steel. That's what I paid for my wagon wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slartibartfast Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 If you're going to repaint, I'd go black... not much white to tie into on a PF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle94 Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 yeah, im thinking black or a gunmetal color... kind of getting off track here. lol. but if all goes well they will be mine tomorrow. gonna buy some paint and sandpaper, maybe some paint thinner too.

JamesRich Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Exactly. I connected the ground wire to the mounting bolt and used a wire butt to connect the positive leed. The install was as simple as removing the Nissan part to installing the GM horn. They even used the same 10mm bolt! Ok I just looked at the 87 schematic and it's a one wire too. The one I had trouble with was a mitsubishi. It had 12 volts to one terminal from the fuse box and the other terminal was ground from the horn button. If I hooked the hot wire to the chevy horn it would stay on. I had to use a relay and trigger the ground. James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nismothunder Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 (edited) I got a set of 4 chrome 15inch rings for those if you want them, there currently on my old Ford. They dont look bad but it has stainless versions of those wheels. Yeah, those Eagles are ugly. I hope to gawd they aint clear coated. Took it on a shake down run, my claws suck ass on river rock and I crumpled my trailers fenders. Besides that it ran good. And you, Ahardbody, do a sit up will ya. lol.

Kingman Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Well I got the ECU and harness wired in, but I'm not getting any signal to/from the CAS so no injector pulse or spark. Been digging on it for a while now. Hmmm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

620datsun Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Installed a Reman'd power steering pump, the ol'lady didn't like turning the 33's with out it. The old one was pissing ps fluid and squeeking at us, so i took the belt off it. Personally, I kinda like manual steering, untill I'm wheelin' then it's nice to have. Only took an hour.
