I was looking at some new chevy trucks and noticed that some of them have a 6 lug pattern.

Any of them fit a 68 with 6 lug?

yues pattern is 6 on 5 1/2 BUT the center hub cutout on the later wheels are wayyyyyyy too small to work on 87 down, plus the studs are way larger on the later trucks, are 14mm compared to about 12 on ours,

good luck

Also, back spacing is not correct for the older trucks. New trucks ('88 and up) have 5 1/2" backspacing vs. 3 1/2" on '87 and older.
