Thanks Bobby , no not yet . I was trying to get it all done before small town take over here in North Texas but I don't think that's going to happen. Just had knee surgery so the tires got put on the back burner . I did tell my wife and daughter that I was buying my granddaughter tires for her birthday !

Tires sizes? You nailed it. Sidewall is perfect.

Thanks! They are new to me tires and wheels. For some reason they put 265 45 on the front and 295 40's on the rear. I'm lowering it more to 5 7. So will need to get rid of the fronts and go with some 40's. Love the way the rears fill in, no spacers front or rear. Had to grind the front rotors. Tires almost new except the right rear is bald

**special-K** · 05-03-2017, 07:29 AM

For my '72. Tires coming today

**cericd** · 05-03-2017, 09:19 AM

Hey special-K, did you paint those or have them powder coated? Were most factory wheels black in the back, white in the front? The original set I have are like that but need to be refinished.

**special-K** · 05-03-2017, 11:21 PM

These are Wheel Vintiques and they come satin black powder coat. My powder coat guy of the last 40 years got out of it and a new guy (probably worked for him) is leasing the place and bought the business. He wanted what I am used to paying for sandblast & powder coat to just scuff them and coat. Money's tight and if I powder coat I want it on fresh blasted steel. So, I scuffed and painted.

I think the factory wheels were only painted on the face, IIRC. I know that's true for rallyes and any later steel wheels. Nothing lke that all sides powder coat. It was so much easier to just hit one side. I figure when I restore the truck I'll get the blast & coat for a fresh look to match the truck

EDIT: Tires showed up yesterday. Man I love me some new tire! We're getting a rainy day tomorrow, which means no work for me. I'll be heading up to my buddy's shop to mount them up. Antique truck club show Saturday!

Thanks! Sadly I don't know what drop it has. I purchased the truck about three weeks ago and have only done some basic maintenance and added the wheels and tires. It does have drop spindles up front and flipped leafs in the rear, but those were added two owners ago. Back spacing is standard for those sizes from American Racing - should be 5.74 in the rear and 4.50 in the front.

I'm still trying to decide on what wheels and if I want 18 is 20's

My opinion is to go with 20s. Tire sizes and options seem to be better and the prices are no more than 18s.
