That truck is pretty close to perfect in my book. Very nice!

What rim size did you go with?

Re: 15 inch tire and wheel combos only
TTT A bunch of pics were lost to the photobucket fiasco. If one of them is yours could you fix it (if possible)?

Thanks!!!

Thanks CG, I can't take credit for the combo, I have to thank member shearjs and his truck Rufus for this same setup:

I've always loved the rallies, just a tried and true classic look. (Even if they aren't period correct)


I did a lot of research about tire sizes, heights and diameters before I chose mine. That's a handy site!
What color blue is that. Possibly getting a 68 from a friends neighbor in Florida and would love to paint it a dark blue like that. I might put a bit more metallic in it though.

Re: 15 inch tire and wheel combos only
I like the factory style look on classic cars and trucks. I widened my back wheels to 15x12.

You and me both brother. While over the years I have come to also like some of the big wheel trucks. Give me a 15 inch rim with a nice sidewall any day.

No one that I have found. 15X8's can be found sometimes on here. We found ours at a military surplus.

It's basically a "get yer wallet out" situation. Been there, done that...

Nice looking ride. These are the style of white walls that really work on these trucks.

Re: 15 inch tire and wheel combos only
I was just trying to figure out tire sizes tonight and going through this thread really helped with what size I want to try to get. Thanks everyone!!!

Looks like imma see about finding some 275/60r15 tires eventually. To me it looked like those fill up the wheel well the best.
