I would like to put some 15 x 12 Weld Wheels on the back of my stepside. Anyone know if they will fit without modifing the bed or frame. if it is possible what backspacing would i need.

A 15x12 will fit with 6.5-7.5 inches of backspacing . You will have to add some sort of wheel tub because the wheel will require the bed be cut/trimmed . The good thing about a stepside is that you can add a trimmed down fleetside tub from a 67-72 or 73-87 and it will look factory . Frank
