Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Crew Cabs Part II

She is home now. New rubber and mufflers tomorrow and hope to be using the truck. Now if I can just keep my wife from making me sell it. With the exception of some rust through behind each front wheel, the truck is rust free. Completely original 46,000 miles. Drove home 215 miles on original tires that sat flat for 25 years and it was one of the scariest drives I can recall. Fresh rebuild on the motor and she is ready to go.

Bonus post. What do y'all think about the 2015 High Country wheels on a Square Crew? Think I'm going to put them on the red/grey one.

I like it! I was under the impression that the new wheels had a different bolt pattern/pattern size so they wouldn't fit the older trucks?

I have been wanting to try some on my 96 cclb because I can get rid of my old ones and get new ones with tires for cheaper than just getting new tires. How do they fit?

They are 8x180 so they won't fit the 8x6.5 but a set of 1.5" spacer/adapters did the trick. Probably won't work on GMT400s do to the wider track width.
