I would say take your pick. Various companies made that style or a close variation. American Racing and Enkei are some top companies. The other smaller companies were prob owned by one of these companies.

I have spent an hour looking at different websites that sell wheels and have not found any that are even close. I searched "85 toyota truck" on yahoo images and I found a couple different trucks with the exact same wheels as mine, but no info at all on em. Is it possible that these style wheels are not made anymore?

I would almost guarantee that no one makes those anymore. That was a early to mid 90s wheel style. Nowadays everyone is going with giant wagon wheels...

Your best bet is to find some used, would be my guess.

The race seats arent hard to install. I did the seats before joining yotatech so no pics or build up sorry hrt4me. The biggest pain in the ass was figuring out where to permantly place the drivers seat. I used 2x4's to hold up the seat while i sat in it and aligned it to my comfort. Then after that measured and cut 4 pieces of 1 1/2 " flat strap 2ifferent lengths (2 for the front and 2 for the back) then welded andle iron to each side and drilled bolted them in.

thanks for the reply; do you happen to have any of the measurements you used for the drilled holes in the 1-1/2" flat strap?

Sorry its taken me ages to reply, not been on here since. Spend most my time over on my build http://www.4wdaction.com.au/forum/vi...?f=22&t=104909

Bought the tray cover from Chap on Ebay local to here in Aus. He has made up a mold so makes them up himself. Needed a bit of finishing from me, isn't water tight and not a pro job, theres no rubbers around the edge (Easy fix) not markings or holes for hardware etc, however it is only ment to keep sticky fingers out of the back and keep most of the dirt off the stuff in there..

Ebay sellers user name is robo1971cannonball but he dosn't seem to have them listed any more.
