Got the New Wheels, Tires, Suspension, brakes, etc.....
 

well I have had it almost a month and making some great progress on the ole 69... Master Power front disc brakes with drop spindles, 5 lug Moser axles out back, CPP rear disc brakes, US Mags Rambler 20x8.5 fronts with BFG 245/45/20, 20x9.5 rears with BFG 275/40/20, CPP 1" lower springs and shocks in front, CPP 4" lower springs and shocks in rear...

its almost ready... just got to have some brake lines routed up front to the new brake booster and charge up the factory A/C and we should be ready to roll...

X2!

Keep us posted on your progress.

Looks REALLY good. I was wondering how those wheels would look on a truck with a medium drop. For the rears, you went with 9.5" wide. They also come in 10" and 10.5" wide. Do you think you could have gone wider without issues? Asking for my own consideration. I like the value of those wheels.

Re: Got the New Wheels, Tires, Suspension, brakes, etc.....
 

the rears(and the fronts) have 1MM offset... now that the track bar has the rear lined up, I have approx. 1/2"+ on the inside fenders.... I think if I had a different offset I could have gone with a wider rear wheel. but for the 9.5 wide wheels 1MM offset is about right!

You nailed it, that truck looks great.

Re: Got the New Wheels, Tires, Suspension, brakes, etc.....
 

well I think it looks great too... I just wanted something a little different than the traditional 5 spoke wheels(which I still really like too).

I love, love, love those wheels!

Re: Got the New Wheels, Tires, Suspension, brakes, etc.....
 

Beautiful ride you have, love the new wheels very classy :chevy:

well I finally got it home today... took another day longer due to the fact I had to get a pair of wheels spacers. it was rubbing on the rear inner fenders at the top of the tire. I didn't want to take any chances so I got a pair of billet wheel spacers 1.5"... they worked like a champ and made the rear wheels look not so tucked it. plus it seems to line up more with the front. hard to believe 1.5" spacers would make that big a difference but I think they did.

very nice truck I like the colors and wheels, sharp...

Re: Got the New Wheels, Tires, Suspension, brakes, etc.....
 

Looking good! Do you have the later 72 rearend, or did you just swap to 5 lug axles?

Re: Got the New Wheels, Tires, Suspension, brakes, etc.....
 

Nice truck.

Re: Got the New Wheels, Tires, Suspension, brakes, etc.....
 

If US Mags website is correct, they only come in the wider widths with other bolt patterns. In 5x5 20" diameter, the widest in the is a 9.5". I actually e-mailed US Mags asking the possibility of a wider 5x5 (since they do have the wider widths with a 5x4.75), but no response. I can't say I expected one though.

Re: Got the New Wheels, Tires, Suspension, brakes, etc.....
 

You will have to go 2-piece custom to get wider.

Re: Got the New Wheels, Tires, Suspension, brakes, etc.....
 

yep I did the 5-lug conversion swap... moser axles!
