I have a 2/4 drop on my 68 3/4 ton and im trying to figure out what kind of backspacing or offset im gonna need to use to fit 22's on it without rubbing, so if anyone has any info. on it that would be great.

Scottb · 12-12-2005, 01:39 AM

i had some 275/85/16's on the front with no problem and some 35X12.50's on the rear that only rubbed with about 1000 lbs on the truck if i hit a bump (never heard it, just saw some paint was worn down). 70 GMC stock height- 81 chevy control arms in front, stock dana 60 in back.... C2500

sorry- only pic i could find on short notice...

oh, found another one- both in the dark...

lux hauler · 02-23-2006, 12:51 PM

Anyone happen to have a picture of a lwb fleet with 2.5" front drop - 4" rear drop with 15x8 4" b.s. front and 15x10 5"b.s. rear?
I know it's a shot in the dark but.... I'm thinking thinking that I'd like to go that route with my '72.

powell72 · 04-02-2005, 01:00 AM

That would be great, no rush though.

**Boog** · 04-03-2005, 09:24 PM

I am probably going to go with either the truck or vette ralleys on my 69 step. I am wondering if there are other center caps that fit the truck ralleys besides the original caps? It would have to bolt on as the original ones or snap over the lugs like the later model ones I suppose.
What are the center cap options for the vette ralley besides the big derby?
It's time to make a decision.

BabyBlue · 04-11-2005, 12:02 AM

Heres my Fathers old 1972 Cheyenne Super, he sold it back in 99'

If I remember correctly the truck had a 6/8 drop spindles & coil up front and coil for the rear. All I can really remember is that it had about 1.5-2" of clearance under the A-arms

It had Polished Torque Thrust D's
Front - 15x8 w/standard backspacing (I believe its 3 3/4") with 265/50's
Rear - 15x10 w/standard backspacing (I believe its 3 3/4") with 295/50's

Just in case anyone wants anymore pics find them here

Vince M · 09-20-2005, 08:35 PM

Here's my combo...... Impala SS factory rims which are 17" x 8.5" with 5.125" backspace. Tires are 265/65/17. I had 31 x 10.5 on 15 x 8 ralleys and the new combo sits higher, rides smoother and absolutly tracks straight with no vibration.

stllookn · 09-23-2005, 02:16 PM

Come on guys and gals...where are the stock and original photos? Here is the stock split rim on stock height '68, 3/4 ton with 7.50x16 split rims and the original hub cap.

All the 3/4 ton hubcaps for 67-68 I've ever seen were the white ones. Nice chrome.

powell72 · 04-04-2005, 12:23 AM

You can go with either a pancake cap or a disk brake cap which isn't as big as a derby.

Waiting on your pics... I want to see what it looks like with 17's and 18's with a 4/6 drop.

72MARIO · 06-29-2005, 08:57 PM

How about dearched 3" or 4" and a 2" shackle ? Thats what I have done. Should be good While the springs are in the shop get new bushings installed.

Note.

2" drop shackles will not work with a wood floor. Thats why they make the 1.5" shackle.

Rokcrln · 07-01-2005, 07:16 PM

Right now mine has the old tires on. My others are in storage while I get the shop set up ( just moved). But what goes on the truck are 17" ralleys with 335/35/17's in the rear with a 7 1/2-8" bs on an 11" rim. Up front they are 245/40/17's with a 4 1/2"bs on 9" rims if I remember right. The truck is bagged, body dropped 2", 3" drop spindles in the front and about 2" notch and 4" Z frame in the rear. The rockers sit about 5/8" off the floor and tires stuff up fully with about 1/4" femder to side wall gap.
