I think those rears are 10", but could be wrong

I'll be on the lookout.

Here is my '72 with 9.75s:

Here is a set I had a local guy polish for me. I just haven't decided what I want to put them on yet.... They are all 8.5 x 15

I could kick myself... Sold my 72 vintage 8 lug slots for $80 a couple years ago to make room in the garage (I needed it though). I miss em, one of the best lookin wheels that can go on these trucks in my book, other than steelies - and even better than steelies in some cases. Well, if the guy I sold em to is somewhere out there, I'd gladly buy them back for $90.

**special-K** · 12-23-2015, 09:55 AM

These are a hot looking, and tough, wheel polished out. But on the right truck, especially 4wds, I prefer them dulled out. Gives them a built for function look, while being undeniably handsome. most custom wheels these days look so frail to me, more like for a car (except so many are yucky black now)

You know its your fault I got the itch for the 8 luggers again

I had totally written them off ages ago until you told me where I could get 16.5 tires.

If nothing pans out by the time Im ready to deal with tires and wheels Ill be going with 16 inch white steel wheels ... I love that look too.

Here's a few trucks of mine with slots

BluTrukker · 12-23-2015, 12:58 PM

I love my slots, now I need some better tires to compliment them!

ChainGang · 01-08-2016, 12:33 AM

Has anyone ever painted a set of these?

Voodoo556 · 01-09-2016, 03:46 AM

I've got a set of 4 - 15"x9.75" US Indy Mags 8 lug For sale. Not polished. Have 32 lug nuts as well.
I took them off my '70 k20. Have a potential buyer but if he passes they will be available. No shipping.

Possmguts · 01-09-2016, 11:22 AM

I would do a set of those... cant find them in the 8 and 10 inch wides I want for the 5 lugs though...

I remember seeing them back in the 70s where the flat part inside of the slot holes were painted body color. Its pretty subtle, but I like it.

Ive got a long way to go...

love your truck, hate the way guys are lowering their trucks now

HeavyD · 02-26-2016, 03:47 PM

US wheel makes new slots that are very sinilar to the old ones, unlike the american racing replicas that had a much shallower look. Well worth checking out their website.

hayseed71 · 03-08-2016, 10:03 AM

I have always loved slots. Put a set on my first car, a 77 Cutlass, and had an 8 lug 16.5x9.75 set on a 3/4 ton 79 ford. I just bought a 65 c10 about 3 weeks ago and have been looking for a set for it. Last night I found a set of four 15x8 slots for 100 bucks on craigslist. Looks like im taking the 65 on a 250 mile road trip today to go get them. Ill post pictures when I get them on.

MikeB69C10 · 03-08-2016, 10:38 AM

Here are my 6 lug slots, but I'm pulling them off the truck next month.

fun in dirt · 03-08-2016, 01:21 PM

Love this thread!
See where it was 6 yrs ago mine were sitting in the shed waiting to put on after ton axel conversion. Well all that has been done & have rocked them the last 5 years. Aluminum doesn't stay all pretty from the use & mud, which is okay too. So, while summer time tires with steelies are on, the slots are getting some polish love. Still think slots are the shiznit!!!
