Off topic but,Is the sunroof original to your truck?

Old School,

Nice. I think for as clean as your rig is, it would look more complete with wheel covers. Not sure what they were called, but the full metal caps with the ribs and colors that radiate out from the center would look just right on there. Otherwise, with no caps, it looks like those are your "winter" wheels and you are just waiting for the snow to go away so you can put the "good" wheels back on.

Tom's has them under part # 1630/1635.

Yes, nice and clean uncut stock truck!

 

[MyOriginal66]

Looks GREAT! Ditto on the hub caps...

 

[Airmapper]

Looks great. I like it without the hubcaps.

No, it's a sawzall/pepboys/3 tubes of silicone job.

I am trying to decide about patching it or getting a new top.
A new headliner and a 1.5 inch lift can hide a roof scar pretty well

Hubcaps: I'm torn.

I have a nice set, but have always loved plain steelies. Especially with a fresh coat of paint.

Another low-key option is a set of brushed metal trim rings for the wheels, along with some chrome lug nuts. It keeps the look of the steelies with just a touch of sparkle.

Definitely! Blasted and painted my steelies silver last week. My sport came stock with the trim rings so I just ordered a set. I also went with chrome hub covers, false chrome hubs for the back and chrome lugs, I think its gonna look great.

BTW Old School, do you have the paint code for that "Vista Orange"? Mine was that color. Ive been looking for a code and yours looks dead on factory.

 

[KS.76Sport]

I broke out the tape.
The tread is 7 inches wide, the carcass is 8.5 wide on a 6 inch wheel and they are 29 inches tall.

Thanks! Man that is a wonderful looking truck. Love the white stripes! ;D

It was originally Vista Orange, but had been repainted at sometime in another shade of orange.
I really don't know what color it actually is. Rut, it's REALLY orange.

Well I think it looks SUPER 70s. Thanks anyway, I'll see if a body shop can find it or match Vista.

If you can figure out what color my Bronco is, please let me know!

Or a set of vintage dog dish hubcaps for just the center!

Sale on these at www.tirebuyer.com

Actually all tires are $30 off a set with code NEWSLETTER0811

I'm going to buy another set for my latest Bronco.

 

[KS.76Sport]

Those do look cool, and would be perfect for an early, EB restoration but at $199 each--yikes!

I got em for $100 ea + shipping. Havent ran on them yet (obviously) still working on her. They dont come in WW though.

In the relatively short time since the original post, looks like those tires have become non-existent.

Clicked on the link provided for tirebuyer.com, and those tires aren't there. Checked the Kelly website, and there's no listing for them.

Also did an internet search for "Kelly Wintermark" and they seem to have been discontinued. The few listings that came up showed them as blackwalls.

Sadly, that is correct.

 

[Stroppe-Envy-77]

Sadly, that is correct.

Got a confirmation today from Goodyear (parent of the Kelly brand), that the tire is obsolete:

Unfortunately, this tire is no longer manufactured by Goodyear and all existing inventory has been depleted.

Goodyear would be unaware of any remaining inventory that may exist in any specific retailers inventory.
