I will be asking a lot of questions that , I'm sure have been asked before .

Like what trim parts can you still get, can I swap it to a 4 1/2 bolt pattern without a big hassle and ..

It is a 318 , auto has air, and it works !

Looks good- saw a rusty one with same paint get crushed yesterday. Frame broke in half....
No easy way to go to 4.5 bolt pattern. Rear could be re-drilled (hacky) but fronts would need new hubs- are spindles compatible between the 2?

84 truck rotor or 76 new yorker rotors get the front

will take an earlier rear axle,cant just swap them/change in c-clip

c-body 8 3/4 is same as truck 8 1/4 or 9 1/4

the shackle flip with front hanger is good for 4-5 inches in the rear with axle floped on top of springs. can flip the front hanger also for another little bit.

A-body 8 3/4 bolts in and tucks 12" rims with 29x15x15 M/Ts in the fenders like mine.(did both my stepside and wide box)

3/4 or 1 ton pocketed lower control arms with stock 1/2 ton spring or shorter for the front,get offset upper bushing to help alinement.

very nice truck

What custom wheel choices are there , or do they all look like 4x4 wheels ?

Can I use wheels off a late model base Dodge van, the ones that are kinda like rally wheels ?

I think I know where I can get a set of those , IIRC they are 16's .. right ?

It really is a time capsule, it shows hardly any wear and tear ..anywhere


I'm not a fan of two-tone

I run weld rims with 5 on 4.5 in my 88 440 truck

some of the bigger newer rims do swap over IIRC

the stock canyon sport rims are alum and have holes with a small cap,they look nice for stock

I am sure after market has some bigger custom rims

Daryl - Don't now if you remember my truck from about four years ago in Denton. It sits pretty low. You could have bought it pretty cheap, 446" motor and all. Wouldn't be much of a run around truck with the 4.88's in the rear but would get you anywhere close quick. Anyway, you can compare where the fender come to on my front and rear tires to your truck.

Lol

Yeah, wasn't looking for a race truck !
daily driver type thing

No, what I was wondering is do they make rims in the 5 on 5 1/2 bolt pattern so I don't have to change it out to the 4-1/2


( I looked for a earlier model truck , prefer the egg crate grill and wanted the smaller BP )

But , everything I FOUND was pounded to snot

I wish I could find something like that to drive so I can keep my trucks out of the weather. Is it pretty loaded up as far as options go?

iirc, the 2x4 trucks were 5 on 4.5 bolt pattern, but I could be wrong.
