Re: What did you do for your GMC today?
 
Speaking of tires, it would help my piece of mind to replace the rear 8 ply 8 x 17.5" recapped mudgrips that I put on nearly 40 years ago.
I put some nice LTs on the front maybe ten years ago, but now find a huge lack of anything like them now.
Except maybe:

I would also go with 16" rims and tires even with the small size difference.
Important to share info on this.

I ordered some STA tires to replace the 2 I did not replace when I bought the truck. The ones on there are pretty old, hard and thump really hard when I use vehicle.

I had one wheel powder-coated in Satin. It is a 3-clip 16x5”

Jim,

I ordered a 7.00x15 M/S tire to be placed on the rear. I believe they are 6 ply, I ordered them via Summit Racing for delivery to their local to me store. I can mount and balance them myself.

Need that exact wheel for my ‘63 3/4t, in an 8 lug. Have the same dog dish hubcaps for the rear, but have yet to find matching front caps w/ hole to accommodate the front dial locking mechanism. Love that look!

Mighty fine looking truck, good looking young man standing beside it, maybe a future GMC guy.

Sad to say I took my 66 GMC fleetside out for a ride today.
Someone ran into my right side. I am looking for a OEM fender.
Anybody out here know where I might find a fender, much appreciated
if anyone knows or if some have good used parts please direct me that way.
Thanks Don

i looked on
CAR-PART.COM
found lots of fenders. search by zip code and it lists them from
nearest to you to farthest. best website for used parts out there. you have to use the dash after the word car, or you will get a different site.
