Hmmm, maybe I am wrong. I'm pretty sure they went to another style in 73.

I believe the 69-72 wheels also showed up in vans into the late 70s....

My Mom had a 73 Blazer and it had that big boat wheel on it. It was original. It was the same gross blue as her interior.

Maybe also in the big trucks...C60 and the like? I know in later years the body style lagged a few years behind the passenger trucks...even on the blazers and burbs. Does anyone know if they changed the bodystyle in 73 on the big trucks?

Not sure what year they chainged the C/40 and bigger trucks, but I know they ran the 67/68 style steering wheel well into the 80's in them. I don't think they ever had that style wheel.

I was wondering about the van angle after the a few said that the early 73's didn't have those wheels...
