Blackwalls. The raised letters are ok but, a pain to keep white.

Raised white letters get my vote. When in doubt, white letters out!

Re: 1985 Stepside With American Racing 200S Wheels

Is it lowered, stock height ,or slammed? I think the 8.5's and 10's would look great with BFG's in 275/50 front and 295/50 rear or 255/60 and 275/60. How did the wheels turn out? Did you restore them?

Re: 1985 Stepside With American Racing 200S Wheels

hEY Tim ,

Are you still with Top Banana in Lynchburg. I met you once before when I brought the 75-77 grille down to sell to Jon. Is this your truck or are you fixing it up for someone else. If you have gotten tired of your 67 GMC , LET ME KNOW

MY 2 CENTS BLACK ON LOWERED --WHITE LETTERS ON STOCK & ESPECIALLY ON RAISED.

Nope no longer with Top Banana at all. Just working for Key Parts only. I doubt if I will ever sell the 67 she was my first!!! I bought a 85 GMC stepper going to do a few things to her then take to Fall Charlotte and see if I can sell her !!!

Re: 1985 Stepside With American Racing 200S Wheels

Here is a stepper with white letters out. It being a stepside will really work with these wheels. I borrowed this pic from Jeff's website.

16" or less, whitewall is best. 17" or more, blackwall to score!
