Re: High School Retro Restoration

These trucks are an adventure in and of themselves but I dont think those wheels have the same bolt pattern as the truck.

Re: High School Retro Restoration

Cragers for a chevelle are 5 on 4.75" bolt pattern and your truck is 5 on 5" bolt pattern.

Re: High School Retro Restoration

I'd check those Cragers, I think some of them came Unilug (had oblong shaped holes that you used spacers with to make them fit different lug patterns)

Good luck, Rg
