Re: Truck / van rally wheels

Does anyone know about the front sway bar from an 85 van ,if it will fit a 72 truck? Will any of the brake parts interchange ? I will be going tommorrow after work to get what I can .All I need is the wheels and tag light and frame but I can get the other stuff if it will work. I would like a front sway bar too if it will work.

Re: Truck / van rally wheels

I ran van 7" ralleys for years on a heated spring drop. A few weeks after a front end rebuild and an ECE 4-6" drop kit install I got a set of 8" wide ones. The new front end rebuild did a fantastic job on ride improvement but rode very solid and bounced pretty hard. I installed the new rims on the back with my old 275-75r15's and the rear end ride improvement was a huge difference. Originally I planned to use 7" vans up front and truck 8" rims in the back but because the rear ride was so much better with wider rims I traded the fronts out also and the improvment was very noticable.
No idea what the difference is unless I had too wide of a tire for the rim width.
