Late Model Factory Alloys on C20 - Pics?
I have a chance to buy some late model takeoffs (wheels & tires) for a pretty good price, >$300.00. I like the late model factory alloys, but haven't seen them on a '67 - '72 truck. If anyone could post a pic it would really help me makeup my mind. I have a C20 longbed.
Thanks in avance, Patrick |

Be sure that the backspacing is correct so you won't get any tire rub on the frame or the steering arm. Some later rims have a smaller center hole, too.

Well, I bought 'em.....for $275.00 (wheels, tires, lug nuts and caps) I figured I'd take a chance on them. I know I'm going to need lug nuts (newer trucks are metric) and center caps (no way these will fit over the ff rear axle, and they won't work without exterally threaded lug nuts). But, I am going to the Pomona swap meet this weekend and if it's availible anywhere, it's availible there. I'll post a pic when (if) I get it all put together.

I have a set on my '71 c20 suburban. I love the way they look. Here is a pic:
I bought the lug nuts at a local wheel place. They seem to be pretty easy to find. On the cap fitting over the full floating rear, I first put on the original lug nuts and then I had enough room to catch a couple threads with the lug nuts that have the hreads on the outside also. Then I screwed the cap to that. Looks good and you can't tell until you get up real close and look at it. |

Oh yeah. They fit just fine. No rubbing at all.

Thanks guys! That's exactly the info I needed. Love those Suburbans.... Hopefully I'll be rolling on the new wheels this weekend and I can post a pic, after seeing those I'm really glad I got the wheels.

First off, Welcome from Sacramento. I just flew in to Orange last Sunday to pick up a set I bought on ebay for $400. I thought I got a good deal!!! It will be a while before I can roll on them. Would allways like another pic.
