22's on a stepside laid out.

[Cooleys Custom Werx]

ok ive never done a 67 body style before. but im about to. i need to know can i run 22's with a step side bed. i really dont like the step sides but it belongs to my dad. im gonna try to talk him out of a step side but if not then im stuck with it until i buy it from him. so can anyone out there help me out with this? Thanks.

you're not gonna lay out with a 22" on a stepside with the stock width rear-end. tires gonna interfere with the inside of the stepside fenders.

[Cooleys Custom Werx]

ok cool. that means a fleet side. woo hoo.

[72hotrodder]

googe image it. i seen a pro-street 67 step that was lay'n rocker he cut and made the stepside finders taller and it looked badass

[Scottshotrods]

you can build a 67 stepside
on 22 inch wheels and make it lay out.
You will have to raise the fenders up to the bottom of the bed rails.You will have to a step knotch and raise the bed floor.You can run irs
on air and leave the bed floor where it is and just make room for the a-arms.
This is more money to do it that way.If you run a solid rear axle you will have a large driveshaft tunnel running thru the cab.You can achieve this with the stock frame and purchase front crossmembers from
porter built or sucide or if
you want a custom ifs you can choose Scotts superslam that will have up
to 12 inches of travel and setup to lay out with 22 inch wheels.If you want a
custom tube chassis we can offer one of our scotts
superslam chassis to lay out
front and rear.

What is interfering with 24's?

[scotts62]

No they won't fit, well "factory setup". Anythings possible, get creative, start cutting, raise fenders or whatever you can come up with. now the 24's may be a little more tricky to make fit..

[Cooleys Custom Werx]

[72hotrodder]

no i ment 24s are taller than the bedside

If folks can get 24s on s10s its possible for a fullsize. But not a step side bed. Theres a local guy whos 20s are cutting into his step sides fenders at the top badly. So they will need to be raised a good big. But with a shortened rear end and the right backspacing 24s should be possible on a fleet side

I agree. And newer fullsize chevy's are laid out on 26's. So I'd think atleast 24's can lay out on a 67, but yeah, not a step side, although might be possible if you lift em up a ton.

hey what up? u talkin about taylor? yea he told me that hes gonna raise his bed up a little. if u take a look at it the line on his tub is lower than the line on his cab. so he's gonna raise it put a porterbuilt x member on it and raise the bed for 22's. but this truck im buildin is a secret from latruckscene. haha. so shush. but dont put it past me. i'll do what my wallet will allow me. haha.

Going low with a Stepside is tough. You could raise your fenders like the other guys were saying, but if you are a guy that pays close attention to body lines it will be a little messed up. I have attached a link to a fella that was having the same problems with 20's. I dig Stepsides but laying frame with a fleet appears to be less of an a$$ pain.

Just my .02

[72hotrodder]

go measure and see how tall the bedsides are.

[SCOTI]

I would section the fenders & add height to the top section (keeping the bodyline constant) before raising the entire fender.

[Cooleys Custom Werx]

thanks for the link. but ive decided to find a fleetside. im glad u guys are giving me some feed back. as said before ive never done one of these body styles. so thanks.

[scotts62]

I would keep the body line and add just above it, and if you take the slope out of the 60's model beds it would be possible to get 22's i believe, but thats a lot of reworking rear fenders. Well if your going to get a fleet and just do it that way thats cool, post up some pics when you get it
