When I was the owner of the Pick-em up Truck Store in Napa, Ca. we sold a LOT of them. Its been a few years now and I dont remember the brand, but Im pretty sure if you get a hold of the Tulare store and send them a pic they can hook you up. Comes in assorted colors too....

Edit: Oh, and they were designed to sit on the seat, not the floor.

here is a trick... it is top secret so dont tell anyone...if you buy one take a razor knife and cut the little bottom lip off ( the one that turns under and goes back toward the back of the truck) because if it is on there the air dam cant flex and it will crack when you run over something... mine has been abused badly and still looks good. remember dont tell anyone!

What size are your tires 1972SuperCheyenne? Any rubbing problems with your setup. Are you happy with the tire size you picked?

STOCKISH 06-21-2010 09:34 PM

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
 
255/40r20 in the front, 295/40r20 inthe rear. Only rubbed in a large dip in the road. In the last pic it has the LS 6.0 installed and it is about 1 or 1 1/2 inches higher so it def. wont rub now. Need to cut a coil out and see what happens.;)

I agree that it's a backspace problem, height shouldn't have anything to do with that. lots of bagged trucks on 24's that lay frame and don't have clearance issues with the frame so having 22's shouldn't matter. get some cheap wheel spacers from Napa or something, prolly less than $20 and will prolly fix your rub.
