Today's progress on the truck

[Mcdiver]

The 5 lug used to have a lot of options, but in recent years, GM dropped the 5 lug for the 6 lug pattern. Most of the wheel companies have started to carter to the 6 lug wheels and have forgotten about the 5's.

But can't you just run car wheels now? the vettes and f-body's have tons of wheel options???

yes, if the back spacing is correct. However; I have no money to buy rims and tires currently anyway. Now if someone wants to donate them, I am ready to talk!!!!

Vettes and F Bodies run a 5 on 4.75 bolt pattern. Trucks use 5 on 5. They don't interchange for obvious reasons..

That's what I was wondering. I heard a few guys running car wheels but they must have swapped out their six lugs with 5/4.75. Thanks for the info Jim!

BTW. McDiver, the truck looks really good put back together! Sorry for derailing your thread momentarily.

Nope, good information here. The truck is not all back together just yet. There is still a lot of work to do to finish the paint job, but I have to have it done in a week and a half since I am going to philly for a long weekend to show my brother the truck.
