The wheels are 15x8 with 275/60/15. I used the newer style center cap that use the plastic lug nut covers to hold them on. changed the studs to use the lug nuts that had thread on the outside also so I could use the lug nut covers. The trim rings are off a newer pickup maybe late 80's or so........

texanidiot25 · 03-23-2009, 09:38 PM

Where did you get that tent?

Highsteel · 03-23-2009, 09:45 PM

I always thought those tents were kinda cool. Does it take up much space stored?
My last '71 was factory Ocher, so it didn't look nearly that nice.
I love the grill work! I really like painted grills over the bare plastic.
Nice Truck!

powell72 · 03-23-2009, 10:01 PM

Still looking good, how's the LS motor treating you?

weircc · 03-23-2009, 10:13 PM

I cut one coil out of the stock front coil springs, and made a 2" block for the rear control arm.

Andy4639 · 03-24-2009, 04:54 AM

That is cool and sleep on the go I like it!

Sicmaro · 03-24-2009, 07:58 PM

The tent is great, first time we used it - it was raining out and it didn't leak at all. we used our air mattress inside. Its nice also because you always have a flat surface to sleep on haha instead of getting a bad spot with a rock in your back.

BigDaddyDave · 03-24-2009, 09:00 PM

Very nice truck!

67CHIP72 · 03-24-2009, 11:41 PM

Looks like fun. I've thought about getting one of those truck tents too.
