Anyway, yes, I’ve got the dims I need from POL, so I’m going to get back with Wheelsmith today to see about getting some rims made up special.

Stock 6-lug Ralleys or steel wheels (71-87 4x4 spares) will clear. The Ralleys will be easier to find & flip if you need something quick w/o the pressure of committing to a 'custom' aftermarket wheel 'now'.
That being said, any aftermarket wheel (US Wheel, Wheel Vintiques, Early Wheel) for stock disc brakes should/will clear stock discs. The issue will be aftermarket/larger brake set-up clearances. Stock/OE 71-87 C/K10 D52 brake set-ups should not have any clearance issues w/a truck disc brake spec 15" wheel.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....
Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
