Ok onto another update, getting rid of the flex fan and installing a fan with a fan clutch. Out with the old and in with the new.

Love the look. I think the truck would look really benefit from some 15x8s or wider in the rear.

Once I do the 5 lug swap I plan to run 15x7s in the front and 15x8s in the rear. Will look much meatier

That'll help fill out those big fleetside fenders, too.

Rusbuilt · 01-12-2013, 09:19 AM

Looking good! I like the black walls

shawno72 · 01-12-2013, 09:47 AM

Thanks Rus. Another temporary option is to run some 1" wheel spacers in the rear. Any thoughts on that guys? Are they safe to run? I guess I should clarify that they are not just spacers but adapters, they have their own wheel studs and lug nuts.

Just curious why you bought new rear tires if you plan to run 15x7's and 15x8's when you switch to 5-lug?
Won't you have to buy tires again?

No I was planning on running the same tires. They should work, I ran 235/70s on 8" Rallies on my 72, so I was hoping the 235/75s would be fine? Another option is to run the 15x6s in the front and the 15x7s in the rear.
