rusty76 · 08-07-2016, 08:41 PM

Awesome wheels. Love that look.

62stepside longbox · 08-07-2016, 11:34 PM

Looks great!

mehoff400 · 12-16-2016, 06:48 PM

well plan origially was to wait until i can do a caliper swap before i install the wheels. i was able to find a guy that will bore out my wheels for 20 bucks a wheel so i figured why wait. i test fitted one today after finishing up the wheel bearing.

shp4man · 12-16-2016, 11:51 PM

Nice truck, mine's a long stepper, too. I like what you did with the engine, looks good!

Did you have any issues with the fitment of the 22 transit wheels?
I just purchased a 63 C-10 fleet side long bed and I want to change the wheels.
I am putting air ride on it for suspension, I decided to go with EZ Ride. I have drum brakes front and back so for now no drop spindles or C notch. I will see how it looks and rides first and if its not low enough for me then maybe I will change to rotors and add the drop spindles in front and c notch in rear to get it even lower.
I was looking at the Mob Steel wheels and the rep said if i run 20x8 in front and 20x9 in back i won't have any issues with rubbing or fitment and won't need to do any mods. The transits look the same to me and are so much more affordable but I only see them in 22x9 for front and back, I really don't want to go any smaller then 20"s I'm fine going bigger with 22's but don't really want to do any mods to make them fit. I know the the center hole on the rim needs to be machined a bit larger to fit the drum but I'm ok with that just don't want to cut any wheel wells or shorten axles for now. You have a really great looking truck!
Thanks for your input,
Jerry

wolfsden · 01-26-2017, 09:24 PM

What tires and tire size did you go with?

mehoff400 · 01-26-2017, 09:38 PM

tires are a 265/35/22

other than milling the center hole out bigger grinding down the rivet so the wheels sit flush on the drum in the front and a 1" spacer in the rear no other modifications needed. if i didnt run a spacer the tire was rubbing on the bed for me.

Where did you get the Chrome center caps and did they just pop on or you had to modify some clips? they really look awesome!
Thanks

mehoff400 · 01-26-2017, 10:59 PM
