Thanks much you guys for your info. I now know what wheels to look for at my local salvage yard. By coincidence, I just picked up a perfect set of stainless hubcaps tonight off of a '71 GMC, unfortunately from a 2-wheel drive so I'll have to do some horse-tradin' on the classifieds for the front 4x4 caps.
Hey med.bronze, thanks for the wheel photo, now I know what to look for.
special-K, sorry I appeared to have a moment, but for some reason I was thinking the photo of the wheel was a 15" wheel, so that's why I was asking all of the 16" questions.
72highlander, nice truck, and thanks for the photos, they really helped as my glove box sticker shows the same tire option.
saa, you have a nice truck there.
Thanks again!
