Are those all stock wheel wells, I'm looking to do something like this, like 15x9 but mine is a 8 foot stepper, just curious if they fit factory trucks

The front wheels on my truck were stock, and the rear were mid-70's 15 X 8 six lug 4X4 rims.

Yes they fit stock wheels wells because the wheels are deeper on the outer side which had a lot of clearence anyway

Here are the steel wheels I built from 15 x 10 blanks from Speedway & the centers I cut out of original wheel. Couldn't find a Beauty Ring to fit, so I made my own Bead Locks & I can change the SST rings any time I want. Just make up new design, laser cut & bolt on.

These trucks look great! I should be able to post up pics of mine, now that the temp is warm enough to paint. I want to do 10" wide on the rear, but I can't seem to find a reputable shop to do it.

Diggin' the car caps. I have '65 Pontiacs for my '67 GMC. I have 4 8s now so I can rotate, but want a couple 10s for drag radials. My '70 pro-street Stepside had 8" & 12" steelies with stock caps

Those Pontiac caps look really cool. I have some on steelies on my GTO at the moment.
