Ty sir, the rear looks worse in that pic than actually is. I'll get a few more pics soon . Also ordered new carpet and seat cover. Considering 89-91 blazer/Burb front swap as well.

And here it is with American 18x8s that my son bought from a friend of mine.

Looks way better! What are future plans for it? My carpet arrived today, waiting on seat cover that should be here next week.. Located a 91 suburban front clip I'll be picking up Sunday morning

looks better with the rallys imo

Unfortunately rallys don't come in appropriate sizes, so one has to go aftermarket.

That's an average price. Wish someone close to me was selling one. I'm about to start my next build

What all are you getting. Technically you don't need to swap the hood and fenders since yours look to be in good condition. That way you're not repainting.

[bbbc10]

care to explain? they make rallys in 15"-26"

Here is my GMC, before and after.

My 83 short bed I am working on. This was last summer, I painted it over the winter and haven't touched it since.

On a lowered front end, 15" rallys with wheel weights on the inside do not work. Son knocked 2 wheel weights off turning into the driveway.
Need at least 16" wheels to clear the lower control arm.

just needs some "clearance" work done on the a-arm. it's a common thing with drop spindles. carries over into the gmt400 platform as well.
