Re: Got Her Lowered Now GOTTA Find Wheels
I like the drop. How much clearance did you end up with between rear axle tube and frame rail?
I personally like an 18" wheel on the 67-72. Lots of modern choices, yet keeps enough rubber sidewall so as not to lose that nostalgic look. Good compromise of visuals, ride quality, and tire choice. |

Re: Got Her Lowered Now GOTTA Find Wheels
It's not so terrible with rallyes. I'd take my time, look around, and let the right ones talk to me.

Re: Got Her Lowered Now GOTTA Find Wheels
Those Intro wheels are killer! It's a leaf spring truck and I flipped it with 2 inch drop shackles.... I had to C notch it. Front it 2 and a half drop spindles with 2 inch springs. I don't hate the rallies just don't love them. Had a few ideas but seems the wheel market is a little thin this time of year because a lot if stuff is out of stock.

Re: Got Her Lowered Now GOTTA Find Wheels
I have a pic saved of a 71 that is almost identical to yours.
