I like the wheels. Can you tell me what mfg wheels you have on there and tire size? Also do you have front disc brakes?

He sure is proud of those! That's the same guy selling those Hurricanes you posted.

Here are some of my current stock. 8.25 x 16.5s,10 x 16s,8.25 x 16.5s,and 8.75 x 16.5s. I don't have pictures of the 9.75 x 16.5 aluminum slots:

SK I didn't even notice. I was still lookin' at 89 stuff. Now I'm having deja vu.

Wheel Vintiques makes them, you can buy from them, I bought mine from Summit Racing.

No typo,I didn't list any 8 x 16s. The only 16s I showed were the second picture with black D-hole 10 x 16s. But,as mentioned,you can order wide 16" OEM-type wheels from Wheel Vintiques now.

[CrewCab59]

He no longer does them. He did about 7 sets over the years but they were done in Indiana in 1997.Here is a pic with them mounted on my CC when I stop showing the truck.

Speaking of Wheel Vintiques, here are the 16x10 wheels I purchased last year. Finally got around to putting tires on them this week. They do fit a stock 3/4 ton style hubcap just fine.

I bought 71' 3" drop spindles from Airbagit.com to lower the front of mine with a 2" 1/2 ton drop spring. They bolted right in o problems, the alignment is done but havent driven it yet as the rear isnt completed. My rear is coil springs as well so just installed 5" 1/2 ton springs as well. I believe someone makes 3/4 ton drop springs if you are looking to keep the towing capacity. Not sure how the leaf sprung guys are doing it.
