(assuming the origin rear axle is in the truck and not something swapped in that's wider)
Overall tire height will depend on the tire size you try to use.

It's hard to compare what you did with your 67 truck,... without know which width rearend was under the truck (67-69 or 70-72) and what backspace the 20 x10 wheels were.
You have to compare apples to apples.
And in this case,... we are talking 73-87 trucks with a fleetside bed.
(not stepside)

Look at board vendors for a good source for wheels.
Like Pro Performance out of Arizona,...

Kieth, ya bro, I wasn't comparing with my 67, just made the statement I didn't want to go through what I did to "make" rims fit it" I want to get the right wheels/back spacing the first time. I had to run spacers in the rear of the 67 too... damn short width 67... anyway... thanks.

Thanks for the heads up on Pro Performance. Their price on US Mags wheels were pretty high compared to most I have found so far. I am still shopping though.

The ship my truck is on arrives here on Monday the 15th... Cant wait!
