Re: 64' K10 Project Long Bed

Did some trial sheet metal install while grandson here to help. We put the core support and right front fender/inner fender on to see how the 16x6' center BS wheels with 235x85x16 tire look in wheel wheel. Conclusion is going to modify wheels so they have a 4" back spacing. This will move each tire 1" more into the wheel well, to look more stock. The '79 axle moves each wheel out one inch. The six inch wheels and '79 axle together move each wheel centerline out a total of 1 1/2 inches. The bottom of the fender is pretty much in lie with the top of the wheel. Once trk is built it will be a little lower too. I have a set of five 16x5" original wheels from Captain Fab that will get original bias size tires in the future. These 235s are for my grandson driving the truck places. And they fit the dually trk too.
