Prepping the 1984 Dodge Ram for Hot Rod Power Tour 2024 - A few final touches

[@franklong8573]

The wheels you have are 15 x 7 Police wheels and you have the correct 9 inch dogdish Police caps. The regular steel wheels don't have the slotted openings , they are solid. Magnum 500 wheel is an all chrome 5 spoke wheel , with black painted inserts and take a bolt in center cap. From The Wheel Guy.

Much appreciated

[@briankinnear7461]

The new wheels and dogdish caps look great. Agree with the blackwalls out. Too bad about the bad steelies. The old wheels look a lot better then when you started. Have a good Power Tour. Look forward to more. Be safe and stay well.

Thanks 👍🏼 I hope Power Tour will be fun

[@franklong8573]

Sometimes it's the tire , you can dismount , mark tire and rim , turn a 1/4 turn , remount and balance , sometimes that will cure it , sometimes you have to do a 1/2 or 3/4 turn around to get better results. Always spin your used bare wheels , before mounting.

I appreciate the info. I did rotate the tires a few times in the rim. I had to cut out a lot of frustrated video so it wouldn't be super long and unbearable. Nothing changed to speak of. Unfortunately a couple of these wheels are just flat out bent.

Love me some Dodge trucks!

[@HFG]

Thanks!! It's a good truck ole truck for sure 👍🏼

[@LeftForDeadGarage]

PowerTour is just around the corner, and I’ve still got a list of todo’s lol.

[@HFG]

Me too lol. Fingers crossed!!

[@donhippy]

Like the look you where going for with the black rims. Sucks about bent rim. 👍For your channel always.

[@HFG]

Definitely a bummer about the wheels. Thanks for your support 👊🏼👊🏼

[@nathanmccree2217]

I love your truck those dodge are my favorite body style

[@HFG]

Thanks 👍🏼 I appreciate it

[@Str8sixfan]

D! Truck looks great, pumped you're doing Power Tour and look at how your channel has grown! Heck yeah! At least the bent up wheel can be a spare?

[@HFG]

Thanks 👊🏼👊🏼 PT should be pretty exciting I hope. Using that as a spare is a good idea. I'll order a new wheel when I get back from PT. Thanks buddy!

[@SypherF]

loving the truck! glad to see you on ddg channel

[@HFG]

Thanks! I try to stop in when I can but I don't have much time. He definitely knows a lot and I learn a lot when I watch his videos.

[@SypherF]

Your welcome boss. You have def taught me a thing or two as well. Gutter repair was great work on the old dodge. Hope to see more

[@HFG]

@@SypherF much appreciated. I'm happy to share whatever knowledge I've gathered.

[@johnherman7363]

I'd like to object to your statement at 21:43.... You say "it's not really designed for holeshots and stuff". It seemed to lay down a pretty nice two track signature on M-136 last night!

[@HFG]

Ha!! You changed to the tube made a huge difference in how it behaves. It's spunky now!

[@halfwitlabs]

I like the stance

[@HFG]

Thanks! I like them better than the 16's

[@halfwitlabs]

@@HFG i kept the slightly raked stance on my truck even though I lowered it slightly. Most people do the leveling kit, but I like that old school nose down, a$$ up stance!

[@HFG]

Right on. Mine has new springs in the back, so it sits a little higher

[@franklong8573]

The new wheel , looks to be a 15 x 8 , are all the other wheels 15 ,x 8 or 15 x 7. The 275-60-15 tire should be mounted on a 15 x 8 , a 15 x 7 is actually not wide enough for a 275 , it draws in the side wall too much. Also wheels are measured from bead seat to bead seat , not the outside of the rim edge.

[@HFG]

I appreciate the info. I don't buy many new wheels 👍🏼

[@franklong8573]

@@HFG I don't anymore , but before 2020 I used to be the Wheel Guy , I bought wheels from Specialty Wheel ( Coker owned them ) . I sold that type of wheel for 30 some years. Along with Mopar ralleys , Magnum 500 and various other Mopar wheels. I used to travel to swap meets , over a good bit of the country.

[@HFG]

@@franklong8573 wow. That's pretty cool. You definitely know your stuff.
