Re: What did you do to your truck today!
20 x 8.5, come in polished, black, or as shown gray and polished lip. IIRC backspacing on the 8.5s is 5.25. Direct bolt on, not hub clearance or dust cap clearance issues. I bought them off eBay from Ron's wheels and they were shipped straight from showwheels. There are a few small imperfections in them , but you have to be examining them to find them. I didn't pay Coy prices and didn't expect a flawless wheel.
I'd buy them again in a heartbeat. I'll be putting 10" wide ones with 295 tires on the back. showwheelsusa.com I found them when another member posted (red 67 c10 out in California, with a really nice build, I forget his handle), posted a thread with them.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
I went and bought new wide trim rings for my 8" ralleys and put them on my wheels .It will be a while before the truck is home from the body shop for me to put the wheels on the truck .I cant wait to get the van rallys off and get the 8" rallys on as that will mean new paint on the truck.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Monday we started doing sheet metal work on my '67 swb stepper cab. I have never done any sheet metal work myself so my son was showing me how to do it. We removed the inner and outer rockers using hammers and screw drivers, not a fun way I don't think.
I cut off the old cab corners and cut and fitted the new ones, my son tack welded them. Also he cut, fitted and tacked the driver's side floor pan. We removed the '73 454 from my '71 along with the SM-465 to prep them to put in the '67. I helped one of my grandsons take apart the front clip off the '71 I gave him. Today I ordered the seals and gaskets for the SM-465 from Rock Auto. It felt good to finally start working on the '67 and since I gave the '71 to one of my grandsons I will be able to concentrate on the '67.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Andy this is the first I've seen of this. That looks like a much more effective shock angle than the other upper shock relocators give on lowered trucks.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Man I sure hope so! It has to be better than now.
Here is another addition I did. New radio installed. Has HD stations, CD,SD and USB and Aux all. I have over 400 songs so far between the SD & USB. Best thing it was less than $90.00 shipped for free.
