Great looking truck. Was searching around for some 18 inch wheels and found your build. Looking great. What is the back spacing for the front and rear wheels if you don't mind me asking? Many thanks and keep up the great work. It is looking super!

Thanks man! 18x9 in the front with 5" back spacing and 275/45/18 tires and the rear are 18x12 with 7" backspacing and 335/30/18 tires. I had to go with a lot more backspacing on mine though due to the Corvette suspension being so much more narrow then the stock truck suspension. So just keep that in mind that it wont be the same for a original suspension truck.

Many thanks Calvin. Really appreciate your info. Have a great weekend and I look forward to more of your posts and progress of your way bad a$$ truck. Thanks.

Actually, if you don't mind doing a little tubbing and you're running a 67-70 rearend, this backspace is what you need - it's what I'm running on my '69 stepside. Exact same wheel & tire size, same backspace, but I did have the trim the fender lip a bit and I sectioned out a fleetside tub to clear the tire inside the bed. Granted mine is a stepside so it's a little different, but it will work.

Thanks! that should answer some of the questions people have asked me on that back spacing and I didn't want to give an answer saying it would work because I really wasn't sure! Much appreciated

hey bro where did you order that kit from?

The kit was from Sanderson, and I also ended up getting a couple J bends from Jegs so that we could cut more of the rounded radius out of them and then sent them back to Sanderson for ceramic coating.

**67cheby** · 09-17-2012, 01:53 PM

awesome work on the stands !!

I just looked at my paper work that I got from them and it just says LS kit. I couldn't find anything either so I just called them and they had it. If you give them a call they'll be able to get you what you need.

widewhite70 · 09-19-2012, 11:13 AM

Here's the bed on the rotisserie getting cleaned up and dings pulled

widewhite70 · 09-19-2012, 11:17 AM

This is the last 2 pieces of the truck that are still together, the cab bolted to the chassis sitting on a couple tire rollers.
