Im planing on not painting it this year just get it going and blow part apart next winter bepending on life.
just googling the track width (center of tire) of the denali should be ~66, and the width of your big truck front end should be ~75". so with the right wheels it should fit. I think thats what 47fasttoys found too, he got some more positive offset wheels and it fit.

not pushing you one way or another! you have some rust repair ahead of you, i got a full body shiver looking at it (I hate rust repair)

Yeah i had measured a truck i had previously owned, i was leaning towards the fullsize truck but i have a lead on a 2005 trailblazer just hoping to get it for a resonable price since most of it will end up scrapped

Yeah rust is just a part of life, its not nearly as bad as every other truck ive owned
