Not exactly what you're looking for, but here's mine with 18" fronts and 20" rears. I've also installed Willwood's front and rear.

Nice looking truck and wheels! I'm in the process of getting wheels and tires for my 68 SWB fleetside but am having a lot of trouble deciding on size and back spacing. Can you tell me what brand of wheel, back spacing and width you're using and tire size and brand?
I don't want to buy rims and have rubbing issues.
Thanks!

Thanks very much for the info. My truck is like yours only a dark green fleetside and should look good with those wheels. I was going to go with an American racing salt flat wheel but at 600+ for each wheel I decided to look at something a little cheaper!
Thanks again!

I only paid $840(US) for all four wheels.

What is your LCA ground clearance? I'm guessing about <2" with the 27" wheel diameter.

Walker, really like that look. Can you provide info on wheel size, backspace, tire size and lowering specs?
Thanks,
Phil

Mine came with 18's, but they were soon replaced.... uck! (these wheels, I mean) Couldn't even give them away with decent Toyos on them.

Hopefully the picture attached, I'm not so computer savvy. I just got these torque thrusts with 235 55 front 255 55 rear nitos. Now I really need to figure out what I want to do about lowering it. Spindles or springs and shocks for now? Not sure yet.:ito:
