Pics of squares running slotted aluminums - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Anybody have a pic of your square running the old slotted aluminum wheels? Thinking about running some 8.5's on the 78, need some inspiration. I am kind of partial to these wheels. Here is a pic of my Wagoneer with them. Thanks

That Jeep looks tough. I really like it.

I would post pics of my '79 with them, but I am still looking for a nice pair of 15x7's for the front. I have a set of 15x8.5's, but they are too wide for the front of my truck. I looked for a good picture of my '73, but all I could find here at work is an in process pic.

Hey thanks, it has 3" spindles and 2" coils on the front, and the axle is flipped in the rear. 235/60's front and rear.

I haven't been on here in a while. Here is mine. It's a 2WD 3/4T 8 LUGS! I think they make this truck stand out

What are your plans for paint when this is done? I'm a bit biased but IMO, i think it would look amazing in it's original paint theme.

JohnC · 06-19-2010, 04:32 PM

That's a good looking truck DblSprt!

DBLSPRT68 · 06-20-2010, 02:03 AM

Thanks guys for the comments!

The rims are 16.5 x 8.25. I got them off Ebay. I'm going back with the same Black/grey paint scheme when it gets paint......
