Frank, American is repopping the Ansen Sprints in a 17". Those would be trick on your black truck.

The only problem I see with that is that they are only available in 17x7 and 17x8 . If there were 17x10 's I would look into it . Can you post a pic of your Yellow truck ? It had slots didnt it ? Frank

As far as the liner goes , I am sure it could be removed at a pretty good cost ,then repainted . It still wouldnt be the original paint in the bed so I am just going to leave it . That was the one single thing that I cant return to stock too easy . Frank

Yeh Frank, I ran those wheels for about a year. I sold them on the first day of a 3 day swap meet. I got those slots off Ebay, and will never sell them. They are just too cool, in my mind anyway! Take care Frank! David

I think they are available in 15" sizes as well. I was going to go with the 17x8's on my Blazer, but life kind of got in the way of that. Here are a couple of pics I have at work of my yellow '73. I think I have some better ones at home, if I can find them.

Jonboy ,
Did you buy those new and if so , what brand and where did you get them ? Frank

The wheels were actually put on in 1976. I just had them cleaned up and clearcoated by Wheels America. It's hard to tell in the pics, but they were turned in a lathe really finely (is that a word?), and looked similar to a CD in the sunlight.

I just went and checked the American Racing website. It looks like you can get the Ansen Sprints in a 15x7 and 15x8 size, 5 on 5.
