Very nice trucks TD.

That is the look I'm going for but with a stock stance. Did you have the rear special made and if so what backspacing did you go with? Is it a 15x 8 rim in back? 15 x 7 in front? I'm mostly looking at the red truck but they both look great.

TD, I like the steels wheels on yours. Ive been looking for a set for my truck. My truck is a '72 sport custom, 302 auto with ps,pb, and ac. It was repainted a long time ago, before I got it. A friend of mine bought it to resale and I needed something to put the wheels on so we worked up a trade. The wheels are original American torque thrust. Another friend of mine had the on a '72 back in the '70s. They are 7 on the front with 8.5's on the back. I think a friend of mine here in Cartersville may have talked to you about trading an x trooper car for your truck recently. I told him i had to have those rear wheels if the deal went through :wink:
