found some 8" steelies and had them powdercoated along with some hubcaps i picked up off the board. gonna put 275/60/15's and put them on my 70. i think it should look pretty good.

me and a buddy were back roading and found a truck for sale, 69 chevy and it had them on it. i bought the truck just to get the wheels. its the only set i've ever seen in person.

tcb-1 · 05-16-2009, 06:40 PM

yep, good score!! they are rare and aren't seen that often....

**Boog** · 05-16-2009, 07:20 PM

I'd like to see a set of them in 5 lug in my garage.

**Palf70Step** · 05-16-2009, 07:22 PM

Very Nice. They should definitely setoff your truck!

big mike71 · 05-16-2009, 09:38 PM

How rare are they

tcb-1 · 05-16-2009, 10:10 PM

fairly rare. I have only seen a few trucks with them on from the factory and they were all custom campers.

however, the resourceful types can still find a set off of a mid to late miltary K5 CUCVs.
