Hella once made these but they have now been discontinued for several years. I believe the Hella part number was 222983002. I scored mine from eBay several years ago.

Thanks Dave

The rims was on it when I bought it. To put the center caps on had to buy different lug nuts.

Very hard to decide what rims and tires to put on.. I was going to put different ones on after I bought the truck. But once I installed the center caps like the look alot so will keep them..

I had an 81 repainted in a similar dark blue. The guy had to put close to 10 coats on before the color came through. It gave the finish an incredible depth.

Thanks everyone. Iam very happy with the way she came out.

The only body work was a little roof rot. That was it nothing else but stripping it down and repaint.

Gotta ask.... What did the body work / paint job cost you?


I just had a estimate on my 93 W250 for all blue paint that was $5200
