hey guys, help me out if you dont mind. 68 swb fleetside. ordering my wheels and need to know if anyone can tell me the approx backspace i will need to keep a 10 inch wide rear wheel just inside the rear fender enough to tuck a little. Suspension is a 4/6 drop roughly and wheels will be Wheel Vintiques corvette style rallye. Also swapped in all 5 bolt hubs etc. i know, should have done my measuring before disasembly but hindsight is 20/20. Thanks

I am pretty sure it's 4.25" backspacing but I will leave it to the gurus to confirm it.

I'm running 4.75" on a 17x9.5" rim. I'm sure I could have ran 5" and it fit fine. Mine is a 72 so the width of the axle might be different.

all hubs and rear end is all 72' 5 stud

Don't guess. Every truck is different. Use your existing wheel & take measurements from there so you KNOW they will fit.
