My 64 is finally on the road again - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Just picked her up from the shop. I had a overdrive transmission installed and swapped it to 5 lug and installed some new wheels. Also had the exhaust routed to the new tip. They are never done, but I can see the light...

More pics to follow. It needs a bath!

A few more pictures. The exhaust tip didn't exactly turn out like I had envisioned, but it sounds great and it is growing on me...

cooperhw · 11-14-2016, 12:54 PM

Ditto, Id like to know the same..

Raked 64 · 11-16-2016, 10:12 PM

The wheels are American legend Thunderbolt. The fronts are 20x8 with 4.5" of back spacing, The rears are 20x10 with 5.5" of back space if I remember right.

I will try to look at the paperwork when i have a chance. Been swamped at work

Raked 64 · 11-21-2016, 07:25 PM

I found the paperwork.

front wheels are 20x 8.5 with 5" backspace ( disc brake kit )

Rear wheels are 20x10 with 4" backspace (drum brakes)

Can you share what your front and rear tire sizes are? Your truck looks great!

Time to sing some WILLIE.

Raked 64 · 11-28-2016, 03:06 PM

275 rear tires
245 front tires

There is some room to go a size bigger on the rear I think.
But my bed fender lips aren't rolled. I have about 1" or so on both sides. Wheel is almost centered.

Are those 40, 45, or 50 series? Sorry for so many questions but my custom wheels will be done soon and I need to figure out what will fit without modifying the rear.

stueber68 · 11-28-2016, 09:00 PM

Sssoooo...where does the tag mount?

gabbin · 11-29-2016, 09:54 AM

I think the exhaust is great, matches well and is unique, great job!
