That's nice! Do you have a build thread?

15x6 steelies with 235/70 front and 255/70 rear.

My 86 K30 and 86 GMC 2500 in chevy trim.
Its too bad they never made 8 lug sport/rally wheels for these trucks.

1985-GMC · 01-26-2013, 11:41 PM

Nice truck! They had some that came on dodges, just throw some 88+ center caps on them and call it good.

Thanks, a lot of work went into the blue one.
I'll have to look for those wheels, pretty good idea.

jhwkns · 01-30-2013, 01:55 PM

Some different caps.

The first pic is as acquired, the second is an early change. It wasnt drivable yet, but I couldn't bear to look at the rusty chromies any longer!

I agree with 68Bowtie - nice looking truck with that wheel change. Curious if the spid is still readable and what that paint color is? Did you already own the 4 stainless caps or if not where did you find them?

54blackhornet · 02-11-2013, 06:32 PM

After all the money spent down the years putting "Fancy" wheels on our pickups ! The best looking photo's are of STOCK wheels and caps ! JMO !

GM Had good design staff back in the days !

I agree. Our trucks are OLD! They are supposed to have OLD looking wheels and caps. Everybody and their brother has bling bling wheels on everything from Astros to Yugos. Who wants that...being like everyone else trying to be different by some kind of blingier (it's a word) wheels than the other guy that don't really fit with the overall look of the truck.

daves72C10D · 02-11-2013, 06:50 PM

I will throw mine up here, wheels are from a mid '80 van, 15x8. I painted them and cleaned up the beauty bands and centers.

The spid is painted over, but the truck was originally the dark turquoise color. The firewall is still the original color. It was painted dark green some years back, and I doubt the PO was too concerned with matching an OEM color--it's just green!

I already had those caps. I have picked up one more since, and I hope to get 3 more during this swap meet season!

Your truck looks great!
Be careful! hubcap hoarding can lead to whole truck hoarding.

At the sand dunes this weekend.

mtm_seven · 03-19-2013, 06:52 PM

I pulled the trigger recently and got my new steelies.

15x8 4.25"bs front with 255/60/15
15x10 4.5"bs rear with 295/50/15

Wheel vintiques from Summit.

Found the caps on Fleabay for about $60.

Nice.

Square_78 · 03-03-2013, 10:56 PM

Just got these yesterday and got them painted today. Putting them on tomorrow I hope. Chrome baby moons and trim rings also.

15x8 steelies off a 70's 4x4 Blazer. Got them cheap. Sure going to look better than the ugly black 1990's mag wheels on it now! Im very excited to see how it changes the look!
