Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds Part II
I think the rally wheels look better in my opinion. Still a sharp pickup either way.

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

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

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

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds Part II
i think belltech's also push the hub out 1/2" to account for this.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds Part II
Unfortunately rallys don't come in appropriate sizes, so one has to go aftermarket.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds Part II
That's an average price. Wish someone close to me was selling one. I'm about to start my next build

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