What is the size of the rims in the back as well as backspacing?

Thanks.

Thanks Ken, it will look better once I can clean and pollish it.

You ain't kidding, that is why I have tried to keep the truck as standard as possible, once you modify it any other thing you want to do to it has to be recerted.

The spring is a 3/4 ton pack with 7 leaves + overload spring, the way we look at it , it is designed to carry a load so when it is empty it just bounces around. So working the spring pack may only be the first step and I still may need to flip it.

Re: 1977 Cheyenne Build

I like your truck. That's a really nice shade of maroon. Be sure to keep updated pics on it because it looks like it's coming along nicely. ...Joe

Re: 1977 Cheyenne Build

I installed the new side trim yesterday but I'm not impressed with the quality, every strip was bent or twisted, the curve for the bed side was wrong, the curve on the front fender was ugly, the clips were ok but the nuts were either too small or too big. the stick on pads wouldn't peel off so had to remove them and fit new tape so it took two of us five hours to fit it all up.
The pics look better that it is.
