Washed my truck today...(Pics) - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

ElGracho · 12-28-2004, 03:20 AM

Well, one of them anyhow. It was looking pretty bad so I took advantage of the unseasonably warm and dry weather where I've been in Oregon this week (50 degrees and not raining).

This is my 86 GMC C15 6.2 Diesel. Original paint, 233k miles.

Man, thats a good looking truck!

MylilBowTie · 12-28-2004, 04:25 AM

I think that is the best stock rim and center cap combo ever. Rallys are nice but I like those better, a lot smoother. How wide are those?

Whats Going On In The Cargo Light Area?

Those wheels are 15x7. As far as I know, all of the factory GM wheels like these, 5 and 6 lug, are only 7" wide. My next set of tires for this truck will be 255 70 15 rather than the 235 75 15's it has now.

It was removed for a canonpy the previous owner had on the truck and covered up with rubber tape. I have an NOS light to put back on, I just haven't done that yet.
