Re: new 8 lug rims
I would say yes. This is a truck that I test drove on Long Island 2 years ago:

Re: new 8 lug rims
They will fit with a but. Butthey set in a little far as the offset on the newrwheels is diferent than the older one like the ones that came on these trucks. I have a set of the 8 hole GMC that I had throught of putting on my 68 GMC 3/4 tom big block truck but I paln to make it a 5 lug short and already have a rooling frame to reach that end goal. Anyways there are some spacers availble to move the wheel out if it bothers you too much toleave as is . I see a lot of the 3/4 tons with the newer wheels and they do look good. Now there is a man on E-Bay with a user name of Mr. lug nut that hag the special threaded nuts you will need to hold the center caps on
