Re: Whose on Steelies? Post 'em up!
Great looking right there. It's a snap shot right of the '70s of what I wanted... and had. I had a few Woodland Green (505) trucks back then and wide black wheels with no caps was the way to go. If there were any K/20s with white wheels and hubcaps back then I sure didn't notice them.

Re: Whose on Steelies? Post 'em up!
I think all I have are a couple shots of a '71 Blazer I had. That had white soft top, wheels, bumper, and brush guard. I had a '69 k/20 Stepside in 505 that I ran black 9.75" Kelsey-Hayes and also a '72 K/10 short Stepside with black 15 x 8s. I just ran long chrome lug nuts. I've also had a '53 and a '92 that color. That color screams traditional truck

Re: Whose on Steelies? Post 'em up!
Not to be crappy, just trying to keep terminology correct here. It seems now that hubcaps are a thing of the past and all but the economy models coming with allot wheels, it seem people are losing the definition of what a "steelie" is. There are wheels made of steel and there are "steelies". Steelies are the type of wheels that came on virtually every American made vehicle since moving away from spoke wheels. Hubcaps or wheelcovers where the focus and the wheel was just a wheel. All other steel wheels are styled steel wheels and many have their own name. Even wider chrome steel hubcap-type wheels are known as "Chrome Reverses" and non-hubcap type are known as "Smoothies'
Not trying to be a heavy, but I'm sure I know what the original poster was looking to see, and that was OEM hubcap-type steel wheels that came from factory, or the first aftermarket wide wheels of the same design, often made by the same OEM jobber as stock width wheels. Some wider wheels where even an option. And GM performance models of the '60s came with 1" wider (7") wheels which are highly sought after. It just makes us look dumb to those who know better and this site deserves better than that, with being possibly the single most authoritative site on early GM truck models

Re: Whose on Steelies? Post 'em up!
I think I already said something similar back at the beginning of this thread, which is why I was hoping to not come off as being crappy. I said something again because the meaning appeared to be getting lost again.
Thank you, brother. Peace to you,too. What a wonderful world it would be if more people wished peace upon one another more. I was hoping I worded my post in a way to be informative w/o being offensive to those who apparently don't know what a "steelie" is. I guess I wasn't clear enough because now you think a steelie is a hubcap, you seem to be offended, and you think you made me look dumb. Sorry, no harm intended, but you're wrong x3. Steelies are wheels and hubcaps (or wheelcovers) mount on them. Some run them open and some run caps/covers. Learning is good, right?

Re: Whose on Steelies? Post 'em up!
I need to explain so I dont mislead:
The rear on the truck is 295/60/15 on 15x10 custom rims. The wheels were 15x8s widened to 10". This truck has a 68 reared too so it's narrower than 69 up rearends. The front is 255/60/15 on a 15x7 5 lug. The white rims off the truck are 295s on 15x8s The black rims off the truck are 275s on 15x8s also. I'll put the front caps on and take another pic this weekend.
