stock 4x4 pics...anyone? - Page 2 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**JIMs70GMC** · 12-09-2004, 07:45 AM

The different colors do mean something, you have red, yellow and blue. Blue on early GMs and I think the yellow was in later years, red was on the fords.

**special-K** · 12-09-2004, 08:05 AM

4x4poet,Let`s not go there.No offense.We all have our opinions.But,all these trucks are awesome.Tires can be flipped & balanced for under $100 in less than 1 hr.We could run another thread on this,but let`s just keep the pics comin`.Lookin`good guys.I like the lift w/285/75x75s.Gives a tough look w/o looking modified.Kinda like a K/30 look.I have powdercoated 16"ers waiting a new set of 285s(probably WranglerMT/Rs.

I'll have to get the ol' scanner hooked up this weekend. I've got some vintage stock 4X4 pictures.

CG, stop by my office and check out my truck. I've got the stock wheels & hub caps. (same as cheyenne10 has on his truck, probably because I bought my Blazer from him). I really like the look and I've been thinking, when I get the money, I'll get the wheels widened and put a little bigger tire on there.

Robin · 12-09-2006, 01:53 PM

I'm picking this 72 up next Saturday from Buffalo, NY. I like the stock rims and hub cap look, but the body lift will go

IBAPIGFARMER · 02-07-2008, 10:45 AM

Nothing fancy...Works everday on our farm.

1969 GMC · 12-09-2004, 03:31 PM

here is a pic of my truck from the ebay auction...the hubcaps are the correct style but are not original to this truck.

**HOTFUN** · 12-09-2004, 03:48 PM

My tires in that picture were stock 16" and I think are 7" but were from a 78 Chevy K20 and the tires were a rare one 31.50X 10.5 X 16. THe originals ones were of course the 16.5's. I just recently replaced the tires for some new take off 245/75/16 blackwall Firestones off a 2003 Chevy K2500 and it really looks bone stock. My hubcaps are NOS correct year GMC caps and the gold center hubs were my only choice from GM since they were the superceded number for the blue ones.

**special-K** · 12-09-2004, 07:48 PM

Also,raised white letters began(factory)with"Wide-Ovals"on muscle cars from the same era as our trucks.I`d call it a sporty look.Lots of guys run RWLs on the SWBs w/rallyes for the"Muscle-Truck"look.My trucks have the stock look(blackwall).But I want one w/huge tires & custom wheels and other off-road performance enhancing mods,too.

Robert1970C20rstbukt · 12-09-2004, 08:25 PM

The original tires, either radials without tubes on steel rims or bias plys with tubes on split rims, didn't have white letters on 'em. Just raised black ones. Either way those trucks look awesome!

**HOTFUN** · 12-09-2004, 10:12 PM

I agreee with griesel72 the stock oem blackwall Firestone LT245/75/R16 make the old 72 GMC look totally stock with a great ride for such a stiff suspension. I have the truck clip off at the moment to put a fresh 350 and rebuilt automatic in it and then she'll be my acreage truck. Now for my 72 original Cheyenne short fleetside in it's original factory finish of orange and white, I am going with a set of NOS factory 4x4 full wheelcovers that I have stashed away and 4 new whitewall P235/75/R15 type tires. And the factory alloy GM 15X7 wheelswith NOS caps from a 82 Chevy diesel 4x4 that I had stripped and polished to look like chrome plated with a set of 31X10.5R15 RWL Michelins will then go onto my 67 black 4x4 stepside when its finished.

**special-K** · 12-09-2004, 10:29 PM

Ahh,variety.

dion · 12-09-2004, 10:33 PM

wow, great pics guys! I saw a stock 72 Cheyenne C20 the other day that could have been my trucks sister with stock wheels and caps, it got me thinking....

I tried but I didn't get any real offers. I put it on ebay a couple of times but it didn't come anywhere near my reserve. I tried the trader also and only had one call. I'll just have to wait until I find a serious buyer I guess.

Thanks, suspension is 2.5" Skyjacker Softride springs in front with ORD heavy duty greasable front shackles and blocks in the rear.

Tires are 33"x9.00 15 Bridgestone all terrains.

Stanford · 12-13-2004, 01:15 PM

Here's my 68 3/4, 4X4. It came with the 16.5 rims, which I have switched over to the early 80's 16" rim, and have 245/75 tires. Sorry about the paint job, some high school kids had it before me and put it on there.

4x4Poet · 12-14-2004, 02:24 AM

Those kids put racing stripes on a flatbed truck?! That's hilarious!

I'm surprised they didn't stripe the flatbed proper.

RANDY COX · 12-19-2004, 10:45 PM

HHHHMMM my burb has red center hubs does that mean they came off a fXXd.sounds like what I'm hearing.
