Nice!

Okay, the rear wheels are 4.25 inch backspace on an 8 inch wide wheel. No rubbing issues in any manner on a 72 truck.

Now, for the front, you have one concern. Your 3 inch drop spindles will cause an 8 inch wide 15 inch wheel with normal 4.25 backspacing to rub the lower control arm pretty bad. That's why 2.5 inch spindles are industry standard. Nothing wrong with 3 inch spindles, I have run them multiple times myself, you just have to plan ahead a bit. What you need to run in the front is a 7 inch wide wheel with about 3.5 inch of backspace. Been there and done that, and these words come from first hand experience. The narrower wheel in the front is welcome anyway since, if you look closely at your truck, you'll notice the Belltech spindles have widened the front track width to be wider than the rear track. An inch narrower wheel in the front will hide the wider track width from the spindles.

Brad, any more pics, just let me know. I have the girlfriend's expensive DSLR camera sitting right here next to me.
