How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds Part II

[Blackfox]

It's dirty but can see the stance a little better in this pic

I think the rally wheels look better in my opinion. Still a sharp pickup either way.

well mine is a 83 with a little surgery to make it look like a 69

And here it is with American 18x8s that my son bought from a friend of mine.

On a lowered front end, 15" rallys with wheel weights on the inside do not work. Son knocked 2 wheel weights off turning into the driveway.
Need at least 16" wheels to clear the lower control arm.

just needs some "clearance" work done on the a-arm. it's a common thing with drop spindles. carries over into the gmt400 platform as well.

Correct, but I'd rather not modify a component that carries all of the truck's weight.

The weights can still hit w/20" wheels if attached to the edge of the rim depending on the spindle/a-arm combo. They just make contact farther inboard on the a-arm vs a smaller diameter wheel. My 18x8" Torq Thrusts would contact the a-arm as well as some 20x8.5" Coys on my old 74. I have 2" drop spindles on my 90 w/15x6.5" van ralleys up front & the weights don't hit.

I think with the right drop spindle it'll work. Western chassis spindles do not have that issue from what I've been told. You could also run tape weights instead of regular weights.

i think belltech's also push the hub out 1/2" to account for this.

i know this....I had a 5/6 drop on mine with western chassis spindles an didn't have any problems.....

Looks way better! What are future plans for it? My carpet arrived today, waiting on seat cover that should be here next week.. Located a 91 suburban front clip I'll be picking up Sunday morning

Unfortunately rallys don't come in appropriate sizes, so one has to go aftermarket.

[bbbc10]

care to explain? they make rallys in 15"-26"

Here is my GMC, before and after.

Bigguy, nice transformation!

On the bottom pic does it have blacked out trim from a round eye truck ? That's beautiful

[UKNOWME]

That's an average price. Wish someone close to me was selling one. I'm about to start my next build

What all are you getting. Technically you don't need to swap the hood and fenders since yours look to be in good condition. That way you're not repainting.
