Ok onto another update, getting rid of the flex fan and installing a fan with a fan clutch. Out with the old and in with the new.

Well I switched the fronts around to blackwall. What do you think?

Re: Shawno72's long overdue 68 daily driver build thread
 

Thanks Buck. New tires for the rear will be here tomorrow. :metal: :burnout:

Re: Shawno72's long overdue 68 daily driver build thread
 

Love the look. I think the truck would look really benefit from some 15x8s or wider in the rear.

Re: Shawno72's long overdue 68 daily driver build thread
 

Once I do the 5 lug swap I plan to run 15x7s in the front and 15x8s in the rear. Will look much meatier :chevy:

Re: Shawno72's long overdue 68 daily driver build thread
 

That'll help fill out those big fleetside fenders, too.

Re: Shawno72's long overdue 68 daily driver build thread
 

Looking good! I like the black walls

Re: Shawno72's long overdue 68 daily driver build thread
 

Thanks Rus. Another temporary option is to run some 1" wheel spacers in the rear. Any thoughts on that guys? Are they safe to run? I guess I should clarify that they are not just spacers but adapters, they have their own wheel studs and lug nuts.

Yeah adapters are perfectly fine.

Re: Shawno72's long overdue 68 daily driver build thread
 

Just curious why you bought new rear tires if you plan to run 15x7's and 15x8's when you switch to 5-lug?
Won't you have to buy tires again?

Re: Shawno72's long overdue 68 daily driver build thread
 

No I was planning on running the same tires. They should work, I ran 235/70s on 8" Rallies on my 72, so I was hoping the 235/75s would be fine? Another option is to run the 15x6s in the front and the 15x7s in the rear.

Re: Shawno72's long overdue 68 daily driver build thread
 

Thanks butternut I am glad I went with the blackwalls. More MY style :chevy:

Re: Shawno72's long overdue 68 daily driver build thread
 

x87 on bwalls. Oughta look great with a deeper wheel.

Re: Shawno72's long overdue 68 daily driver build thread
 

Sorry for the bad pics but here it is with blackwalls and new shoes all the way around. Really like the stance.
