Hobert62 Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 I think the can lids may be due to the fact they have the wheel and lug nuts hid and not visible to inspect. I heard it also, but don't know of it to be of any truth. That being said there are a lot around.

57 bcr Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Not a fan of simulators since I seen 2 trucks on the side of the road with missing rear wheels(simulator equipped). I agree with the fact,that you can't see your lug nuts when these things are used. Like BillyT says," give me real Daytons or Budds". One of my biggest fears has always been losing a wheel.

29Bowtie Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 That Ford is a great looking rig, but as much as those chromed hubs look good, they probably wouldn't be legal either, since the chroming causes hydrogen embrittlement and if it caused cracking, the chrome could hide them.
