I think I'm liking the stance...now on to the rest of the work.
They are 15x8.5 and 15x7....255/70/55 and 215/70/15
3" side axle with 2 1/2 " reversed eye front springs...not monos
The rear has homemade dropped shackles and front hangers from a K5 blazer for a little over 4" drop...easier and works far better than flipping the originals if you're not reversing the main eyes.

Re: Lowered attitude with some new wheels
Looks Nice! That's almost exactly what I am running (size wise) on my '64. It's the perfect stance. If you don't have a sway bar on it, I recommend installing one. There are two threads under Hints and Tricks that tell how to do such. I just installed one on mine and it is amazing the difference it makes...especially if you live where there are a lot of curvy roads.

Frank that truck looks just right with those wheels and stance.

I think the stance looks great.
Nice straight truck and great choice on the wheels and tires too.

Re: Lowered attitude with some new wheels
I'll get some more pics up soon when I'm done fixing that "straight" body...gray primer can sure hide a lot of half assed work that's been done in the last 51 years...but then I'm hypercritical from teaching collision repair for quite a few years...but overall it really is a nice truck.
