My son's 71, 4"/6" drop with 225/70/15 on stock 6" wide steel wheels. Factory 402/TH400/A/C truck, complete engine and trans is sold to a fellow board memeber so the 5.3/4L80E swap begins this weekend.

I figured I would post my new wheels in this thread to bring it back to life. I went with the Vintec's 17x8 offset is 4.5". I wanted 18's, but I couldn't pass these up for the price!
Tires- Nitto NT 450
front 255/50/17
rear 275/50/17

That looks awesome!! Any idea if your 1970 has the wide rear end or the narrow one? I have a 1971 and am trying to figure out backspacing...

Hey, I have the narrow rear end. I put 1 1/4" billet spacers on. They have been on for a couple thousand miles, no problems. I like how the offset still has the wheels tucked a little bit.

Hello from New Zealand! Here is my 71 c10, its a 250 6 cyl with a 3 speed manual box so pretty basic. I use it daily for my work truck.

Its pretty slammed on 15x11 and 15x12 widened later model steels.

I want to go lower of course, but will wait till I stop using it for work.

Some pretty cool trucks in this thread!

Here's my contribution. She's pretty rusted out but looks mean.

Welcome aboard Macabre. It's good to see the 71 still working and towing with a 6 cylinder. I like the deep steelies on it too.
That's an unusual looking van on the trailer.

Thanks a lot!

Its a british vehicle, Commer Pb. Its underpowered and under braked and unstable at speed, but it looks good so that's ok? Haha
