Right, and they will be 5 spokes as god intended. Not the six-spoke monstrosities they made for the later Chevy 2wd trucks with the 6 lugs.

Trying to figure out/decide if I want to go square 17x8 or staggered. I've seen a 17x9 on the front but don't see that option in the TT. Could go 17x8 and 17x9.5 but not sure it makes sense to stagger.

Currently running 17x9.5 TSW Kalahari's  on all corners of my '91 ext cab swb

Thought I was 100% decided on these:

 

But these are under consideration as well:

You can't go wrong with either one! Personally I decided im staying 15s on the new truck for now.

The GMT400s are todays "late model classic."  (I don't know if that's a thing...but that's how I think of it).  I love mine. 

Yours looks extremely nice.  Great score!  The wheels are going to look fantastic!

Agree! Thanks! Actually leaning more toward the bottom wheels at the moment but I'll change my mind at least a dozen times before I buy anything.

Awesome truck! I think the bottom wheels would look way better but since there are probably already pics of them on gmt400s i think you should post some here so we can armchair assist your choice. cheeky

All I've done so far is the shackle on this truck .

However I've done hangers, shock mounts and shackle hangers on other trucks.

I love a nice sharp air chisel. If that isnt an option then I've preferred the cut an x in the top of the rivit and knock the four pieces off then drive the base out method.

Not my finest photography but I busted out the plumb Bob and took some measurements. Ordered 2 18x9.5 0 Vision Rally 55s. I know they'll fit. The rear and I'm going to see if I can squeeze them on the front. If not I'll go with the 8.5s up front.
