Re: '63 GMC Project
The 15s are stock wheels from a 92 C-1500. I believe they are 15" X 7" with 4" of backspacing.

Re: '63 GMC Project
I had to weld brackets to my axle to mount the air ride setup anyway so I was able to use any rear end I could fit in it. The rear I used already had all of the stock mounting brackets cut off and smoothed out so I don't know how they line up but I doubt it's a simple bolt in swap. I also had to have my driveshaft modified to work with it.

Re: '63 GMC Project
Great build, even if you are using 'brand X' suspension The mobsteels are gonna look great. Also, kudos on the faux Hotwheels- that's too cool!

Re: '63 GMC Project

Nothing new with the 63 but I wrecked my daily S-10 2 months ago and the replacement truck I ordered came in this week. Just picked it up today... ...2014 Silverado LT

Re: '63 GMC Project
Man your truck is amazing. Just read whole thread. Brand x looks like a great product I also like how the lca mounts. Would be nice to know the company. First time I've seen them block it like that. Wonder what the reason is. Which horn is that? I had a farmer buddy of mine give me a set of nathan air chimes they are crazy loud. One rule no kids and no grey hair for mine. I'd feel to bad if I killed someone with a horn

Re: '63 GMC Project
Good looking truck, my two kids heard it in the other room and came running and said "What was that!, it sounded COOOL!" Us three think its cool. Could I get some info on it and maybe a picture of it. Thanks.

Re: '63 GMC Project
I just started working on it last weekend. I got a set of CPP spindles that bring the wheels in .5" on each side and depending on the tire size I go with It might work. I'm waiting on an answer from CPP to see if their modular spindles will bring the wheels in any more or not.

Re: '63 GMC Project
I ended up getting a set of CPP's modular spindles and brake brackets to bring the wheels in another 5/16" per side. It looks like that might have done the trick. I got the suspension buttoned back up and the wheels installed and jacked both wheels up and they cleared my fenders without having to trim them any more. I still need to put it back on the ground and cycle the suspension but the airline I was using to fill the truck's air tank with sprung a bad leak so I couldn't put any air in the truck to get it off the jack stands.
Here's a teaser pic...

Re: '63 GMC Project
I went with a 245/40/20. I was going to go with a 245/40/20 but decided to get a smaller diameter to try and dial in my speedo.

Re: '63 GMC Project
I went to that website on my ipad creep. And did not see any way to browse the wheels they sell. And the biz store will not load up? Any ideas?
