I'm at risk of taking the '8 lug' request too literally....

Hey is that your "garage"? Looks like something I saw in Virginia where my Dad's people are from, many years ago when we were up there.

Yep, my 'garage'. Just don't go asking if the 'Burb fits in it. It'd be easier to fit the garage in the 'Burb.

When the house was built,our wagons were a bit smaller,and just had one or two horse power....

Your pick-up has the same type of steps(?) as my 'Burb. Chrome tube with rubber/plastic pads to step on. Mine have 'Spyder' embossed on them. Yours?

Mine are branded MAAP Steel Horse automotive. Never heard of them, but they seem to be made well(and don't sag or move when my sturdy self is on them). The bed liner and bed top caps are aftermarket stuff too, and I think the rear bumper was dealer installed or at some later point. The VIN report shows the fairly rare rear bumper delete option. It looks factory ish but doesn't have the black pad in the middle, below the license plate. It has some dents anyway so eventually will get replaced.

Bone stock c2500 with the 5.7/nv4500
I like it just the way it is and wouldn't change a thing other than new flooring and one of those dashskin or coverlay dash covers. Unless someone could tell me some stock size wheels that would look good on this old pig

The ones that are on it! The steelies with that centre cap really suit the GMT400s. Much better than the GM alloys. I like the (aftermarket) alloys on on my 'Burb (see previous page) but I'd happily have those steelies on it.

I like the PY0s ( the 2000-2007 alloys with the 5 kidney bean shaped slots) on these trucks, or on square body trucks. I was going to put the set I had on my 2500 square body Burb....no longer have that truck, needed $$ more than the wheels. Now I have an 8 lugger again, and eventually it's getting some aluminum wheels. I need a jack to pick up the steelies with those 10 ply truck tires.....

Alloys are rarely lighter than steelies - it's only marketing hype that has created that impression. The only thing that alloys bring to the party is that they can provide better cooling. A combination of more open design facilitating airflow and their inherent heat conduction. Steelies are invariably tougher and less leak prone at the bead due to corrosion. I like steelies - can you tell?!!

I use a spade to lever mine onto the hub...
