275/60/15 mastercraft on aluminum American racing I believe, with bowtie spinner centers. Waiting on the 8" steelies to come home from the powder coat shop.

15x7 and 15x8 Thought I was getting out nubs so I could run stock 4x4 caps--ended up with these and had to remove centers for front! Do not make this mistake if you want to run stock caps!

flashed · 03-23-2017, 06:53 PM

Those look great ,nice truck too.

**paul blair** · 03-23-2017, 07:34 PM

Thanks flashed for the kind words! I would rather have the stock look-maybe next time I need tires. WOW sooo many great TRUCKS HERE!!!

**HO455** · 03-23-2017, 09:03 PM

Older American Racing wheels 15" x 8" fronts 245/60's rear 275/60's . Burban on bags. Wheels were on it when I bought it. There is little clearance between the lugnut and the wheel. It requires a thin wall socket to fit on the lugnut.

old school.

Hey jmj4, nice looking truck! Is it a 2 or 4wd? Any more pictures? I looked but couldn't find a thread dedicated to it.

2wd. Documented the tear down and rebuild in photos but didn't post a build thread as I did it in just under a year and was too busy trying to get it back together.

One of those things I'll probably get around to doing at some point...

jmj4 · 03-24-2017, 12:11 PM

here's another photo showing the wheels and tires during assembly. keep in mind the suspension had just been reinstalled and the front coils hadn't re-compressed from being out which is why it stands a little taller than it does today.

**cericd** · 03-24-2017, 02:59 PM

Would be nice to see more finished pics of that one. Several years ago I almost bought a '68 stepside in that color. To this day I kick myself for passing on it.

By the way, what width wheels are you running?

jmj4 · 03-24-2017, 09:09 PM

Funny, I have a lot of progress photos but very few now that it's back on the road. I'll see what I can find & post. Went back with dark olive poly single stage paint. Kept the truck stock with a few upgrades from a donor I purchased.

Wheels are the original 5.5" wide, three nub steelies I had powder coated.

Not a very good pic. I have weld drag lites. I cant afford the big wheels. There are only a few I like. So I stick with the old school look.

flashed · 03-25-2017, 09:50 AM

Old school looks good to me .

Beautiful ride, and I agree I love the old school wheels.
