FINALLY. Time to start (plan) my build...

69 SWB 2WD.
Long awaited build.... or continued build. I've had this truck for 30 years.
Gone from built big block to 305 w/700r4. Now I have a low mileage LS/4L60 for my next phase. My plan is to make this a daily driver.

So in my planning stage I've been looking at options for suspension, brake, and wheels because I want to do all of this while running gear is out.
It is currently 6lug. Definitely going disc brakes on the front, and fine with either way on the rear. If I stay 6 lug would probably just keep the drums on the rear for now, but if I swap to 5 Lug I thought that I might as well go disc all around (thinking the cadillac rear disc option?)

A lot to consider when planning a build... So in looking at Lug options, I began shopping around for wheels. I want to go with Staggered 20" Rally wheels.
I thought that would be the easy part. But I've been having a hard time finding in stock and without the offsets... and with the backspacing. I know I'v missed the popular time with these wheels but it's still the look I want to go with.
Ebay sellers don't seem much help when asking questions

Any Opinions or Help welcomed.
Opionions on American Racing Rallys VS the Vision Rally?
Brakes? I've read countless bad things about CPP but am leaning that direction.


I'm ready to order Drop Spindles and Brakes but want to know my wheel options first.
I know I'm writing alot....but it is alot when trying to plan this out.

Thanks for any info and I hope to keep up with this build on the forum.

My truck as it sits now....haven't driven it for 2 years
