You have to have 73-up six lug steel wheels, the pre-73 wont clear the caliper.

I have 5 lug and how do I tell the year of wheel? I don't have the calipers on yet and would hate to have no wheels once I get them on...

5 lug wheels will be fine.

If you are still looking for pictures. Here is my 68 with the original 68 dog dish that have been repainted and are not stock colors.

SLOW POKE · 12-05-2012, 06:36 PM

nice!! what are the specs on your wheels & tires?

**Todd68Chevy** · 12-05-2012, 07:10 PM

Thanks. The truck is lowered 6 1/2" in the front and 5" in the rear. The front are 215/70R15 on stock 15X6" wheels. The rear are 255/70R15 on stock 15X8" wheels. The truck is now 5 lug disc but the original caps fit the 5 lug wheels also.

Any more out there?

Square_78 · 03-28-2013, 06:54 PM

How about stock 4x4 blazer 15x8 steel wheels and baby moons?

Von Zipper · 03-29-2013, 10:42 AM

I just picked up this 68, dropped it an threw on on some cooper white walls. next on the agenda is to find a decent fleetside bed.

That is a clean ride! I have never been a fan of long bed stepsides but yours has a nice stance. I would rock it like it is.

They're not rallys Mike. Just plain stock steelies with rally trim rings and moons.

Square_78 · 04-05-2013, 08:22 AM

Yes that is correct.. Stock steel wheels.

SlowYourRoll · 04-05-2013, 03:57 PM

Inspired by this thread, I ran to the junkyard and bought some steelies (off 89-98 silverados), rattle canned them, and made adapters to hold on the center covers. I'm not lowered yet, but with the current Brother's sale on springs, that is next payday!

Eventually, I will be throwing on some 20s probably... but this certainly looks better than how it was delivered to me - the tires were so flat, they were squares from being strapped onto the flat bed that delivered the truck across the country. I had to have another shortbed though.

SLOW POKE · 04-10-2013, 11:12 PM

looks pretty good!!

cubber · 04-10-2013, 11:46 PM

similar to the blue one, 17x8 wheel, 88-98 rallye caps

Now all you need to do is convert it to a GMC, and Paint it Blue and white top
