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

Can anyone tell me who makes these wheels? Been searching the Internet and I'm starting to wonder if they are photoshopped.

Are you talking about the squarebody syndicate truck that has some 1 off Delmo wheels...

http://www.squarebodysyndicate.com/sema-build.html
"The Syndicate Series 01 build is a 1974 Chevy Cheyenne Super 10 with a set of one off Delmo Speed 22" wheels made to look like the 71-75 Chevy CST hubcaps"

They are factory hub caps that have been photoshoped to look bigger. You can find them on ebay but they are much smaller than in the pic above. When you do your google search type hubcap rather than wheel.

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

Thanks again on the hubcaps. I am familiar with the hubcaps and have found the 3/4 ton hubcaps are larger that the one GM put on the 1/2 ton. The wheel itself was more of the question I had.

The pic posted is photoshopped. That is a factory steel wheel thats been photoshopped to look like a 20 or 22. There are however several companies that make a 20 or 22 solid center wheel that you can immulate that look.
The GM transport wheel is a solid center steel wheel that comes in a 22 but its 6 lug only. Mobsteel or Detroit Steel wheels make a solid center steel 20" wheel that can be has in various popular bolt patterns and widths. They are supposed to have a 22" coming.

Coys just released a solid center steel wheels available in various bolt patterns as well.

There are several options on billet wheels too, but those posted are not any of them

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

Here is my cousins 76 Chevy. Uncle bought it brand new, pulled the original 305 out and put a 454 in. My dad redid all the wood bed a few years back. Sweet truck.

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

What's going on everyone! New here, first time taking on a truck project (come from the world of Subaru's) but I just picked this up a couple of weeks ago and can't wait to start working it! 1987 GMC
Just got some new wheels for it today. Hopefully tomorrow I can get some tires on them and get them on the truck.

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

Well it was ten degrees and the truck was under a foot of snow, but I just got tires mounted to the new wheels and had to put them on


They are U.S. Mag Ramblers, 18x8 all around with a 255/55-18 tire. I like the look of them, need to drop the front of the truck a bit more it think

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

I think I posted pics from the ad when I bought my truck before but here are a couple I actually took the other day. Washed up and clean for a couple days anyway.
