C20 8 lug question

Thinking of gettin a 1970 C20 off craigslist. It has 8 lug wheels. Is the lug pattern 8x165 or 8x6.5"? What is a common backspace for a wheel I want if I plan a 4/6 drop?

Re: C20 8 lug question

No metric till very recent years. Trucks were still All American back then. can't help you on backspace since it never mattered. I always just bought the width I wanted in the appropriate diameter and that's all anyone needed to know.
