I don't know what year they are but they are not split rims.

I Don't know if you would be interested in what I did for a newer transmission in my C30 but it has worked out well for me for all around driving, towing, and hauling, and a pretty easy install.

You definitely like things right

Here’s one I had for a while,
I only bought it because I wanted the original 292 for another truck.
Check out the custom front bumper
Is that heat stove pipe original ??

I never even looked at the brakes
It started
And it stopped

Barely
I guess that was the reason for the massaged grill
And new custom bumper

chevyland...lol...Necessity is the mother of invention !!! on that front bumper....Actually that is basically what my grille looked like when I bought my truck....previous owner slapped on the billet grille with plastic ties....took care of that in an instant !!! What's up with that air cleaner? CA smog?

LockDoc....Thanks for the thread regarding the transmission....I most likely will go that route when I change the clutch...but for now the clutch is fine.... which is a wonder......Rims/wheels...I know the proper name is not split rim, but its a rim with an outer ring....What is the correct terminology for that wheel?....I have to say I could not salvage any of the rear wheels on the truck....You should have seen the sledge hammer distortions,.... for certain there must have been a wobble going down the road....Took quite a bit to locate wheels that did not have hammer blow marks.....I located a parts truck and went equipped with the porta power & acetylene torches...I used the mini ram as I heated the wheel around the hub......they popped right off......Why would you want to kill yourself swinging a sledge hammer under a truck?..... Keeping it positive here, don't want to comment on a 'better way' to do things......

They are called split rims
They do take a bit of hammering and crowbar ‘ing
We ran the all the time back in the day
But changed them out over time
Because of this

Many shop will not work on them anymore
The ones that do, use some sort of cage now when inflating
