I hope you kept those GMC caps! Those are rare now. Would look good blasted and painted!

Still very much a project and a looong way from done:

I like the bare steel wheels.
. I'd like to buy a set of 15x8 5 x5 steelies if anyone has any.

You can buy them off Summit brand new I think for like 80-90 per, Wheel Vintiques is the brand. Free shipping after $100 also.

Good luck finding OE 15x8 wheels, I've been looking for about 2 and a half years now. Like Jack said, you're better off just buying repros. Probably save you time and money.

They're out there, I found a set about 7 years ago on eBay. An army surplus guy had a bunch of NOS ones. I have 2 left that I was holding onto but now that they are reproduced ....

Reproduced? I haven't found them in 6-lug. Would appreciate it if you knew where to get them. Tried Stockton wheel... cost quite a bit more than a pretty nice alloy.

I'm talking about 5 luggers in 15" x 8"

My '67 has steelies (has a 1972 front clip since this picture):

Steelies on my 1969 Suburban:

Are those the 6.5" van wheel? I've been noticing those on a few trucks and really like the look.

I think we need to re-visit the difference between rally's and steel wheels (steelies).

52napco · 03-11-2016, 07:45 AM

Might as well throw mine in the bunch

Agreed , but the original post did say any kind of steel wheel , at least the interest in steel wheels keeps a 7 year old post alive!

Yeah, the original poster asked to see any type of steel wheel, but in the title asks for steelies. The problem isn't showing the rallyes, etc. The problem is calling them steelies. Steelies is a name given to old factory style wheels of the time, because they never had a name other than "wheel".

funkfords · 04-18-2016, 11:01 PM

heres mine with centerline smoothies

Layne · 03-11-2016, 04:19 PM

Very nice! I love the original wheels on the original trucks!

NONHOG · 03-11-2016, 04:51 PM

Great video franks72! warms my heart.

picklito · 03-11-2016, 05:13 PM

Took me a long time to find 6-lug steelies. Finally got them powdered and installed. I know the caps aren't '70 but they're what I have.
