Beautiful truck. Great stance. What type of wheels are the new ones? Can you share the size, offset and back spacing.....appreciate it. Also what size rubber front and rear.

Thx!

Take a look at his build thread. "Proj Farm truck".
He listed these wheel and tire specs in that tread.

front - Rim 20x8.5 w/ 5.25BS
Rear - Rim 20x8.5 w/ 4.50BS
Tires are 245/35/ZR20

My '57 C3100

Best in Class - Firebird Truckin' Nationals 2002
Best in Class - Firebird Truckin' Nationals 2006

Bought in stock factory condition in 1998 from the original owner. Ten years and about $43k invested over time. Color is Mercury Blue with a Purple Pearl overlay.

GM Factory 350 crate motor
TPI Fuel injection, 30lb injectors zero emissions map sensor system with programmable chip
700 R4 transmission
Dakota front clip - Ford 9" rear axle w/ 3.55 gears
Four wheel disc brakes

And the list goes on, and on, and on....
As always, a work in constant progress. I'm not sure they're ever really 'finished'.
And I drive it almost every day!

Classictrkman · 11-05-2008, 04:48 PM

This is what my 57 looked like when I bought it.
