That is a perfect example of that time period, and it still looks cool 40 years later.

I love my slots!I spent three years trying to buy them from a guy who had them on a 76 big 10.Every time I saw him I would offer to buy the slots.He got the truck and the slots from his aunt and did not want to part with them.My last standing offer was $200 plus a trade with a clean set of outlaw 2's,I would do all the jack work and have his tire mount and balance .He still said "NO".I ran into him at a mutual friends house and he informed that he had sold the truck and slots along with it that day!

I made him give me the phone number of the guy he sold the truck to.I called and explained the story and made the same offer to the new owner.He said it didn't make much difference to him and we struck a deal.I now have a very nice clean set of deep dish slots and their beautiful.I love the way the look on our trucks.Also,because of the deep backset it made my track width wider and improved handlingThese are period correct and set the truck off.ALL HAIL SLOTS

I've always used the etching cleaner, and never bothered with polishing. The center caps are aftermarket.

Hey you mentioned the center caps were after market. Where did you get yours?

I love this thread..

[smokinstang70]

In fact I'm looking for a 15x10 set now... If anyone has a set PLEASE let me know. Thanks

I don't have any pics and it's probably a good thing since they were on another brand of truck haha but my first truck had slots on it and I loved them.....wish I would have kept them when I got rid of it looking back on it.

I bought them at Pep Boys. I think they were western wheels brand. It's been a few years so I could be wrong. The mounting holes didn't line up. I had to drill new ones.

Running 15x10 slots w/295/50R15 tires on the back of my ’72. Running 14x6 ET V wheels up front with some 215/75R14.

I had machine shop that makes hot rod parts build some flat caps for them. Here is his info http://stores.ebay.com/Dashmans-Hot-...id=p4340.l2563

The wheels already had holes drilled with 2-7/16” centers, think these are a somewhat common pattern because I have had another set with this bigger 5 bolt cap before. The bolt pattern is bigger because the wheels have a center hub hole of 3.75 so a wider bc is required for the caps.












The big caps vs the regular ones for like US Indy Mags(running those on my '69 Dart)

15x10's with 33x12.5's. Bought on the board from a local member.

[smokinstang70]

Thats what i"m looking for..... Love the way they look!!!

[74 stepside]

Slots! 15x7.5 with 235/60r15 and 15x10 with 295/50r15 on my 74 step. Last pic I test fitted on a 315/60r15 drag radial.

I picked these up yesterday for my '66. As soon as I find a place to refurbish them (minor curb rash), I'll mount my T/A's on them and be rolling "old school".

[rray670]

I've had sets on a number of trucks, they always look good. I currently have a set of 16.5 on my 01 hd, and a set of 16.5 6 lug in the shed. I didn't know they made these in 15x10 8 lug until this thread, I would love to find a set of those. Anyone know if they made an 8 lug 15 any wider than 10?

[50bomb]

I had some laying around in the garage off a 88-89 4x4 blazer 7 years ago. I didnt know at the time they were sought after. I junked them haha.

[74 stepside]

56 chevy. Its got 15x7 and 15x8 slots.

[71maligreen]

slots are the shiot!!!!!! i have 4 sets but all are 5x4.75 and i assume the truck versions are 5x5???
i have everything from 14x6 to 15x10

[71maligreen]

picked up 2 more 15x10`s off craigslist the other day for 50 bucks.

[WIDESIDE72]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I picked up three of these from another member here, 70flintstep. The three I have are 15x 8.5" with 4" of backspacing. The size is cast into the back of the wheel. There are no other identifying marks on the wheels.

I would be willing to purchase a pair if the price is right.

Any info as to what brand these are or where I might go about finding one (or two) would be appreciated.

[brutus]

I'm looking at getting some 8 lug slots 16.5x 8.25 for my '72 C20. It has factory disc brakes and I'm just wondering if there's anything I should watch out for in terms of wheel sizing and intereference with disc brakes. I think these will fit but would like confirmation before I buy them. I am assuming the backspacing is 4.75 but have not checked yet. Thanks

[stomper]

Saw these at a local junk yard the other day and thought about buying them. If I didn't already have a set....

[cheyenne shortstep]

I love slots. Here's mine. Been on this truck since the '70's.

Hey cheyenne shortstep, what size are those slots? Would you happen to know the backspacing?

Thanks

[JMac11]

Picked up another set... have $200 in 8 15x10 6 lugs..... just takes patience.
