How's she doin?

How's she doin?

Good!! Driving her daily and she's doing what you'd expect. I drove the S10 for the first time in a week last night just because I hadn't driven it for a while. Hard to get more reliable than a 1/2 ton, 2wd, small block GM rig IMO. I'm loving it.

Probably gonna pick up a set of these in 15x8 for winter wheels with a set of Cooper Cobras. Should look

Love Rallye wheels. Had the narrow ones on my '72 Monte Carlo.

I like the clean, simple, traditional look of them especially when coupled with white letter tires. Perfect for older rigs and appropriate for the era.

Why not run the traditional square body rally wheels?

Well you know if I had that thing I’d be figuring out how to make it lay rockers.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure my 87 was the same. Sometime in the next few weeks I'll find some time to do some investigating.

Another weak point of squares is their power window system. I will need to check that out, too. I know that the motors are new according to the previous owner but it's still not great. I may switch this over to manual windows like I did with the dually depending on what I find when I get a chance to dig into it.

That era of GM power windows were so slow. They were super slow on my GN, but I didn't drive it enough to bother me. There's a GN site that sells a kind of "booster" to speed up the factory power windows. I'd guess it would work for the Burb if you wanted.

Yeah, LMC sells something similar. Doesn’t really work as well as you’d hope, unfortunately. I tried that on my dually before throwing in the towel and converting the windows to manual roll up. Got tired of f-ing with it lol
