That truck is pretty close to perfect in my book. Very nice!

What rim size did you go with?

TTT A bunch of pics were lost to the photobucket fiasco. If one of them is yours could you fix it (if possible)?

Thanks!!!

Thanks CG, I can't take credit for the combo, I have to thank member shearjs and his truck Rufus for this same setup:

I've always loved the rallies, just a tried and true classic look. (Even if they aren't period correct)


I did a lot of research about tire sizes, heights and diameters before I chose mine. That's a handy site!
What color blue is that. Possibly getting a 68 from a friends neighbor in Florida and would love to paint it a dark blue like that. I might put a bit more metallic in it though.

I like the factory style look on classic cars and trucks. I widened my back wheels to 15x12.

You and me both brother. While over the years I have come to also like some of the big wheel trucks. Give me a 15 inch rim with a nice sidewall any day.

No one that I have found. 15X8's can be found sometimes on here. We found ours at a military surplus.

It's basically a "get yer wallet out" situation. Been there, done that... :waah:

so, it'd be cheaper just to convert over to some 5 lug...

Nice looking ride. These are the style of white walls that really work on these trucks.

I was just trying to figure out tire sizes tonight and going through this thread really helped with what size I want to try to get. Thanks everyone!!!

Looks like imma see about finding some 275/60r15 tires eventually. To me it looked like those fill up the wheel well the best.

Time to bring this back up. Have seen some 15 inch questions on the board.

Rallies are timeless IMO.
