Wheel options for "76" 3/4 ton

Hey guys,

I have a 1976 Chevy 3/4 ton and I will someday be putting chrome wheels on it and was just wondering what other guys have put on similiar trucks or any ideas someone might have. I haven't been able to find too much on the net for it, its seems 16" chrome wheels for 3/4 tons aren't very popular. And I don't really want to put take-offs from a newer year model. Anyways, please let me know any info you might have and thanks in advance for any feedback.

Try the new aluminum wheels.


I've seen a suburban and a 3+3 crew cab with them on. They look really sharp and are lighter too. The stock wheels should be easy to find.

I was going to get these for my 78 3/4 ton but I'm selling it now. They are pretty cheap too.

I was considering at one time the Eagle 054 wheels. Not chrome, but they look real fresh on our trucks.

Ya they are nice but do they come in 8 lugs cause that is what 3/4 tons have.

I have 16" Progressive 8 lug wheels on my '81 3/4 ton. I got them from my local tire shop. I just went in and asked what to see what my options were for 8 lug wheels. Mine are polished aluminum. I really like them.

I don't have any close up pics of the wheels, but here are a couple of pics that might show them a little.
