I need to explain so I dont mislead:
The rear on the truck is 295/60/15 on 15x10 custom rims. The wheels were 15x8s widened to 10". This truck has a 68 reared too so it's narrower than 69 up rearends.
The front is 255/60/15 on a 15x7 5 lug.

The white rims off the truck are 295s on 15x8s
The black rims off the truck are 275s on 15x8s also.
I'll put the front caps on and take another pic this weekend.

Now Mike you have mislead us all. Your tires are 295/50/15 not 295/60/15.

Mike, those 10s look great on there. If they had been 5-lug I would have kept them. I considered going to 6-lug to be even more '67 GMC-like, but already did my rear up the way I wanted it (3.42 posi). I hope the later rear isn't too wide for 10s.

Now we know your tire & wheel size, so what's the drop? And please, for crying out loud, would you make sure the info you give is correct???

Hey welcome, great example of a truck!

**special-K** · 11-22-2014, 08:34 AM

love that bone stocker, Hammersmith.

Hey Mike, does it look like that wheel/tire deal would fit with the later rear? Mine is supposed to have 4/6. I bought a good to go frame off another member and all that sets on it so far is a bare cab with doors. I may not leave the 6" once built. Think more like 4-5" drop in rear to give some rake and allow for the truck to still be used as a truck w/o hacking the frame. That or bags in place of coils to give adjustability. That's way out there,yet.

Tim,
Here is a better pic from the front side. The bed is sitting loose but it pretty close. I'm not so sure they will fit on a later rear as well. Do you already have the wheels widened? I'm looking to do a set of 5 lug in as wide a hoop as I can get to fit. I'll keep you posted in my build thread in the spring how it turns out.
The cab is actually sitting turned a little if your wondering.

**special-K** · 11-22-2014, 09:56 PM

Thanks. Looks close enough that the bed would need to be surely correct to really know. I have all 8 inchers for it right now and plan to run same size all around. But, I want 10 inchers to run drag radials on special occasions

I see you are cutting the bedsides down different than most on here. Maybe I'm seeing things. Are these long beds cut down to short? If so looks good.
