Found My SWB 4x4 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

vtblazer · 06-25-2004, 07:14 PM

OK, so now vtblazer is a truck guy too

I found a SWB, 4x4 in N.Y. Been looking everywhere it seemed...
Same green as my blazer

go figure.
It's all stock with only 52,000 original miles on it. 1970 - 350,A/C,auto, no tilt, no tach

and a cut dash

All stock except the wheels...so now I'm looking for a set of factory wheels/hub cabs or maybe some rally's. Anybody have some for sale?
Edit: Why is it double posting the pics?

Sweeeeet looking truck. Congradulations!! What kind of wheels are you looking for? I have a set of new take off rallies that were removed from a truck when it was new in the early 70s. They have both 4x4 front centers and the one that has 4x4 in the center for the rear. I could get another NOS 4X4 rear though probably. No rings. Is this what you are looking for?

vtblazer · 06-25-2004, 07:34 PM

Yeah, I love the rally's

Although the more I see Bouncy's new ride, I'm really starting to like the hub caps too, very

Have any of those? The truck has 16's on it now, aren't factory wheels 16"?

**Classic Heartbeat** · 06-25-2004, 07:38 PM

The 3/4 tons could be ordered with either 16" or 16.5. I just sold one with the factory 16.5s I believe. It was on the option sheet. I am not sure that 16s were availible then. The 1/2 tons only had 15" that I can think of. I do have some of the deluxe hub caps for both Chevy and GMC too though. I will have to look at the condition though. I don't have the ones with a hole for the front hubs though. WES www.ClassicHeartbeat.com

Pretty nice find you got congrat's on the new ride...

meathead95 · 06-26-2004, 04:07 PM

my 72 swb 4x4 had 16.5" rims from the factory

vtblazer · 06-26-2004, 04:11 PM

WES, I really don't need brand new wheels but what are you asking for the set with shipping?
I checked in my parts bins and I have centers and rings left over from my 84 blazer.
stelth2002, I have one rally, only need 4. What are you looking to get for them?
The only rally's I'm interested in are the 8"x15" ones.
thanks guys

Rod · 06-28-2004, 11:44 PM

i have had a 70 6 bolt pattern and a 72 5 bolt 2wd pattern that both were 1/2 tons with factory 16 inch wheels as optioned factory equipment. I still have the 5 bolt pattern 16 inch rims on a parts chassis of mine.
