It's Wednesday now, but I need an excuse to post this somewhere.

**MikeB** · 07-06-2022, 11:51 AM

That's a beauty.

400 SBC or 402 BBC?

Ekliptix · 07-06-2022, 11:54 AM

It started life as a 350. Now it's a 402 BB, heads, cam, EFI, 700R4.

**MikeB** · 07-06-2022, 11:55 AM

Simply fantastic. I live the OE look.

Chevys4life · 07-06-2022, 03:38 PM

And you made the top of the page.

Very Nice start for page 23 . I had the same feeling about this picture and 'cause I never said we had to stay with 67-72 pickups. Here we are.

Cooper Discoverer AT3 235/75/R16 on American Racing aluminum 8 x 16 rims. I had to use 1.25'' aluminum spacers to get back to vintage backspacing.
They sure feel fine, and now my speedometer [almost] matches my GPS groundspeed. Within 2 - 3 MPH.
The rims were kick-outs from my buddy's '99 GMC Suburban. He thought they were too bling for his mood.

Thanks. I had those tires on my list to consider , but I didn't see 31-10.50-15 as an option. So I was looking at 265-70-15. Haven't decided yet.

On the C/10 Stepside w/292 L6, I run 235/85/R16 on 6 x 16 wagon wheels [ or ''white spokes.''] For over 20 years, I've been running these wheels. After a side impact collision [right rear], I looked around for a replacement wheel.
N/A. Nowhere.No one has them. So I paid a guy $80 to straighten out the wheel to ''true.''
Then, with the tire dismounted, I saw warning decals inside that this was a Trailer Wheel. And not to mount high speed 235/85 trires on them. Well after about 100,000 miles and 20+ years, I think they're just fine. So I looked for a Trailer Wheel in that size, and found one locally for $68.
Now that's my new right rear wheel, and the trued one will be the spare.
Originally the truck came with 7.00x17.5 bias tires on 5.25 x 17.5 rims. Unicorn shoes. But they were tall and lean. The 235/85/16 on 6x16 gets about the same ride height and stance.

**3757chevy** · 07-25-2022, 10:43 PM

I'm looking at them for my '72 K5. The BFG's on it are getting old.

Now that's something we don't see every day. Very nice.
