Hello everyone!! I've just joined the bullnose club after several years of falling in love with these trucks.  
Here is mine...
52k original miles!! was a Washington truck her whole life and was garage kept for most of it.  




Off the bat, I am trying to change out the wheels it came with.  I am looking for the 15 inch, 8-spoke white painted wagon wheels and am planning on also putting the black center caps on as well.  The center caps I have found already.
However, I am having a lot of trouble as the reproduction white steel wheels I am finding do not have the pre-drilled holes for the center caps.  
Any advice anyone?

Thanks!

Welcome!  Glad you joined.  

Nice truck!  Looks like it is excellent condition.  In fact, the burled wood trim on the dash even looks great.

I can't answer your question about the wheels, but I do like the ones you are looking for, so good luck.  

By the way, where's home?  I ask because we have a map (Bullnose Forum/Member's Map in the menu) and can add you with a city/state or zip.

Tacoma, Washington

Thanks!

You are now on the map.

Welcome!  

Your new truck sure is in great shape.
The nap of the velour seats and that the burl isn't sun faded purple say a lot as to how pampered it's been.

You might post a WTB (want to buy) listing down in the marketplace section for a set of wagon wheels.
I'm not too familiar with the black center caps.

I agree with Gary, and the steering wood finish appears to remain intact, where usually worn and washed out by the driver’s fingers “playing” around the control buttons.
