Re: 3/4 ton 2wd wheels&tires
Here's mine. 16" wheels with 10" wide in the rear. 9" in the front. Mine is a 70 so I wasn't happy with the front with the drum brakes (first pic). When I switched to disc brakes, the stance in the front looked much better(second pic).

Re: 3/4 ton 2wd wheels&tires
FYI, 8 lugs wheel bolt pattern is 8 x 6.5". With that info, have a look online at Jegs, Summit, Tire Rack, etc. Are you into classic style, flashy bling, or painted? How much do you plan to spend? Personally, I like painted steel on a work truck like the Cragar Soft 8 397 series wheel pictured below. They come in 8 lugs, too. Just imagine 8 lugs on it.

Re: 3/4 ton 2wd wheels&tires
I'm about to do the same and I am going to run American Racing ATX series Artillery. Still has the old school style with the five spoke, but with 8 lugs. Should look good. Just wish it was available in 16x8 and 16x10.

I just put these on two weeks ago. They are Ion Alloy 171s, 16x8, with 265/75/R16 Michelins all the way around.

Re: 3/4 ton 2wd wheels&tires
My '69 C20 truck has 15" wheels and tires. I like the look. They are 275/60-15. My only issue is that I'm thinking of installing front discs and I'm not sure if the rotors with caliper will fit inside the rims.

Re: 3/4 ton 2wd wheels&tires
I have Stock 17" wheels off a 2008 Dodge truck. They are a little tight inside of the rear wheels but other then that I like them. Also that I got them for $200 on cragslist with good tires. One of my friends is running the steel wheels off Dodge and they looks kinda like chevy rallys.

J/K To the untrained eye they look like correct Chevy wheels. Very cool. Your truck looks great by the way.

Re: 3/4 ton 2wd wheels&tires
What year are those Ford rims from? I wouldn't mind getting a set and some hubcaps for winter wheels.

Re: 3/4 ton 2wd wheels&tires
I believe anything up till 1998 will work.
