I just got a 68 c-10 and really want to bag it and am trying to make sure i know as much as posible before i start buying parts.

You should do a search on this topic. I know I have several threads of my own on this.

I want to put 24s on the back and 22s in the front on bags. If not that 20s and 22s what direction can you point me in so i will know what im going to have to look out for? Anyones help would be great.

I think if you're going to go that big, you will have to modify the bed floor/fender wells, and you might have to remove the front inner fenders. There's a few members that are running 22's so while searching keep your eye open for that as well.

You need to measure your own truck to ensure the BS is right; everything else is just a guess.

I think i'll take SCOTI advice and measure my own before i spend $3000+ on some BIGG BILLETS!!:metal:

A narrower rearend will allow for a larger dia. wheel. At a show last year, there was a guy that was running a Lincoln Continental rear end in a '68, to gain an inch for the 22's he was running out back. According to him he wasn't going to have to modify the beds/fender wells.
