A long wait for wheels, but worth it!
My 1983 c-10 shorty, 4.5 and 6 drop, full load,350tbi, 700r4, power rear window, 85 grille, wheels are Foose Legends 20x8.5 front with 265/35/20 Nitto NT555, rears are 22x9.5 with 285/35/22 Nitto NT555.
The look I was going for is that if the truck was new today what would you do for accessories and wheels, stock body no major mods. |

It's a CRL, no longer made, they are hard to come by.

Re: A long wait for wheels, but worth it!
Very nice looking truck. If it were mine I'd say it's done.

Re: A long wait for wheels, but worth it!
I don't know if it will ever be "DONE".
I want to clean up the interior next, maybe a front brake up grade, there is always something. |

Re: A long wait for wheels, but worth it!
im guessing its just an optical illusion, but in the first and third pic the front wheels look drastically smaller then the back ones?

Re: A long wait for wheels, but worth it!
love your truck .one suggestion get a 73-80 rear bumper & move it in closer to the body where the part that curves around the rear quarter is approx 1/2 in . from it . Thats what Idid to my 84 & Ireally like it . Ithink you will like the clean looks of the 73-80 sport bumper better than the 81-87.
Will get you before & after pics if you like . |

Re: A long wait for wheels, but worth it!
I went with that bumper because I like it the best, it matches the front.
Thats my thought anyways. Thanks for all the comments, there is really no one in town that is into 2wds in this body style, like I am. |

Re: A long wait for wheels, but worth it!
It is aftermarket, they haven't been made for at least 15 years.

Re: A long wait for wheels, but worth it!
I'm pretty sure there was one of those kits for sale on here a while ago....
