Run transits on a stepside short box 60? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

We purchased transits for a friends 60 stepside shortbox. Anyone installed these on their similar truck?

Im concerned about the factory shock locations and and the inner fender area being smaller than the fleetside bed.

We plan on running spacers. Im sure most trucks with these do. What width do we need?

What are these things you speak of? Have some pics? Ive never heard of a transit.

I’m pretty sure he’s talking about the 22 Steelies that new Tahoe’s are shipped with

Yes these are "transits" or "transport" wheels, and I want to know if anyone has had issues running them on a 60 and the stock shock locations.

How about -

Anyone that has them on their truck, what thickness rear spacers are you running to get them in the right spot?
