OEM 6 lug factory rims????

[wiggins]

I am working on a 76 k10 stepside and I want to put some original rims back on it. I was going to get some from Stockton but they are temporarely closed and they arent sure when they will reopen, owner died. So I am know looking for some good used ones. I found these here http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=466537 bvut he says they came off a 72 Blazer. I am pretty sure they are nor correct for that Blazer but could they be for this K10? Also are rims from a 67-72 interchangable with the squarebodies? One more any other places besides stockton yall can think of? I would prefer to order some new ones bc I realy want to go 8'' wide.

I got some OEM wheels for my '65 Impala a few years ago from Wheel Vintiques. I shopped everywhere. I remember Stockton was the most expensive. The ones I got were also sold through Summit. If I remember correctly, I was told back then that Wheel Vintiques made all these wheels and supplied them to everyone else. I was really happy with the wheels, by the way.

I had called Wheel Vintiques and they had an extra set of red powder coated ones that they were willing to sell me cheaper because they were returns, but I chose the bare.

This company looks pretty good, too...

Any idea if the 76 rims were solid or did they have the vents cut in them like the ones for sale that I posted above?
Whlie we are at it does any one know if this K10 would of had hubcaps or the beauty ring w the 4x4 center cap?

The wheels posted in your first post are correct 15x8 rallies for the 1/2 ton 4x4 squares.

My 75 1/2 ton has wheels exactly like the ones you posted with the vents cut into them, only they're 15x7's and a 5 lug. I wish they made a 5 lug 15x8... I really like the way they look and want bigger wheels to fit my tires.

They do, check out wheel vintiques, and the wheel smith. Thanks for the info though, I appreciate it.
I see you have an IH problem as well. I have 3 Scouts, a 69 Travelall and a 71 Pickup. My wife is real tollerable, lol

Lol... yup, I have an IH "problem".

I didn't see any of the 15x8 wheels on either site, but it could have been that I wasn't looking hard enough.
