Re: Let's see the 8 lug wheels
I might have been the first to get tired of wagon wheels and maybe the first to realize they are actually right for these trucks...once you no longer saw them anymore. I wanted the look of a 4wd done in the '70s for my survivor '72 K/20. They look great on a deluxe 2-tone truck

Re: Let's see the 8 lug wheels
Tim,
thanks man, now you've got me more confused than normal. i've got a set of 16 x 8 white spokes, a set of 16.5 x 8.25 stockers and a set of 16 x 7 E-350 wheels and trying to decide on which ones to put on my K20 suburban. i have a set of 285s for the 16s but i have perfect original hub caps for the stockers that already have old mud tires on them. decisions decisions .

Re: Let's see the 8 lug wheels
A couple of options:
1. Factory 16.5x8.25 Steel rims with factory chrome hub caps 2. GMT800 8 lug PY0's with factory chrome hub caps on the front. Still need to pick up the spacer for the rear to run those hub caps

Re: Let's see the 8 lug wheels
Along the lines of special-k's old truck here is my first ever vehicle. My first 72, with 16.5x10 turbines and 38" Ground Hawgs. My dearly missed dad is in the picture. Truck rode like a tank with "soft ride" lift . I still loved the truck at the time. Will have to wait and see my shortbed build on the 17x10 slots with 37's.

Re: Let's see the 8 lug wheels
alright man i gotta pick your brain.. how are you keeping those caps on?
my 67 came with split rims and i can only find a nice set of ford 16'x 7" wide steelies to replace em with that look good . did you take the clips off the old steelies and weld em on new ones or????

Re: Let's see the 8 lug wheels
Here's a truck I got a little while ago and am planning to keep the original paint, fix the rust, lift it more and make it look like an early 90s built truck.
