I've got a set of field wheels (found in a field of old junk). They are cleaning up nicely, I love Mother's. 13 inch 4 lug Cragar SS. Trying to see how centercaps are supposed to fit (if I can find some for 13's). I can get caps for a 14 , maybe make them work.
@@bonesaw55 Thanks. It's a 1968 Corolla. I got it for $300 back in 1988, put a battery and brakes, tires on it. My first car. I thought to myself, I'll just drive it til I find somthing better. Still driving it. She's due for a little spruce up after 50 years as a daily, I've put many hundreds of thousands of miles on it. Spent a long time gathering parts and built a complete new engine inside and out a couple of years ago. It surprisingly peppy for it's size, about 66 cu. in. 75 hp stock. Car only weighs 1500 lbs, 4:22 rear acts like a posi, good torque ( I've twisted a few u-joints and broke one of the bolts keeping the rear centered on the leaf springs) 4 speed. I've tinkered with it over the years but putting it mostly back to stock now. Turns out it's a first generation (KE10), first model Corolla introduced in the US. They were late in the year when they started and only had 6 months, sold 7,242. I'll try to stop typing now but you get a sub for the long story!
Clean them up and sell them, there are always people looking for a set. Or put them away for a rainy day when you find the perfect project to put them on
Got the same wheels on my 72 Cutlass love the look.

Is that old boxers you are using
Yup. They were washed before becoming garage rags.
That’s so cool I just got done with my hand truck rims out of zinc and got them to a shine thay look like aluminum
Awesome. Glad you were able to get the shine you wanted
Hit it with glass cleaner after all that and it really has a shine
Allen Ball cool cool. Thanks for the tip and I will give that a shot
turtle wax is good to leave it on while you do all the rims. then clean them
Rudy Flores cool thanks for the tip many. I will try it
Nice video do The wheels require long studs to fit
No, they are stock length studs on a 1970 cutlass with a BOP 8.2 rear diff and stock front disc brakes
@@bonesaw55
I have a 71 I just bought some cravers 15 inch with ss caps and it came with long lug nuts and the stud barley come through
@@jayg1358 if it is the long lug nuts they go through the opening in the wheels and still gets good engagement on the studs. Totally safe
@@bonesaw55
Thanks for the response I went ahead and bought some 2.78 inch studs and then bought the long nuts but open ended

Nice job!
Cragar's are the best but you put some cheap tires on them!
Clark Griswold I did. There aren’t a lot of options for the rears since they are 295’s. They do make good smoke for burnouts though
After watching this, I've learned to clean my toilet properly.
Jerk Jiggler glad you got some value out of it
I picked a set of these up for free the other day
myakka fuel nice, that is a good score. Any particular project you are putting them on?
Ya. I'm restoring a 66 bug with track mendeola suspension, porsche 944 parts. 2.5l dohc subi engine, and much more!!
myakka fuel very cool. Sounds like an amazing project and hope to see some videos of it
