Older American Racing wheels 15" x 8" fronts 245/60's rear 275/60's . Burban on bags. Wheels were on it when I bought it. There is little clearance between the lugnut and the wheel. It requires a thin wall socket to fit on the lugnut.

Hey jmj4, nice looking truck! Is it a 2 or 4wd? Any more pictures? I looked but couldn't find a thread dedicated to it.

2wd. Documented the tear down and rebuild in photos but didn't post a build thread as I did it in just under a year and was too busy trying to get it back together.

One of those things I'll probably get around to doing at some point...

here's another photo showing the wheels and tires during assembly. keep in mind the suspension had just been reinstalled and the front coils hadn't re-compressed from being out which is why it stands a little taller than it does today.

Would be nice to see more finished pics of that one. Several years ago I almost bought a '68 stepside in that color. To this day I kick myself for passing on it.

By the way, what width wheels are you running?

Re: 15 inch tire and wheel combos only
 
Funny, I have a lot of progress photos but very few now that it's back on the road. I'll see what I can find & post. Went back with dark olive poly single stage paint. Kept the truck stock with a few upgrades from a donor I purchased.

Wheels are the original 5.5" wide, three nub steelies I had powder coated.

Not a very good pic. I have weld drag lites. I cant afford the big wheels. There are only a few I like. So I stick with the old school look.

Beautiful truck. I have 5 of the same narrow steelies out by the shed. Waiting on my 8' to get back from the shop. Looks like I have a plan for the narrows now. Thanks for sharing.

Was checking out this thread again to see what people were using with 15x8 inch rims with the same size tires on all four corners

TTT for those that want to add to the thread or maybe missed it.

Guys don't forget to put a little more info in your posts if you can. That way if someone really likes the look they have all the info they need.

Drop ... or lift. What size are the rims, and what size are the tires.

I like that look a lot. Clean, crisp, muscle.

While its not a 67-72, this style of truck has grown on me over the years of seeing them pop up on the board. Nice color combo.

Stock springs, P01 hubcaps with old school BFG Radial T/A's. Really like the clean look of these hubcaps, I have seen guys on this site with the trucks lowered with these and they look great.

Just brought this one home and I'm not sure of the wheel width, but the tire size is P275/60R15. I'm probably going to find either some 15x8 rallys or maybe steelies w/ caps for it.

There's no such thing as "COPO" only caps.These caps were found on the cheapest Novas you could buy as well as SS's,that's where my first set came from a base model 6 banger.
