Gotta love how these threads always devolve into people posting pics of the same old front/rear clip swaps and roof chops that people have been doing for 75yr now.

Yeah I agree. From the window line down Im digging it, except for their wheel choice, FAWKING GAY! Less wheel, more rubber. The winshield and rear window just ruin it. Oh and fuck the Tahoe. Fix the roof, make a two door, with a removable roof please, and a Burb and Ill bring the checkbook. Daddy wants a brand new family hauler and a Blazer for dad time.
Looking again, if the B pillar was white and the C pillar blacked out to match the windows, or solid body color like below. I think it would look much much better. Can someone with the 'shop skills make it happen? Id like to see if it does.

Yup, wontons are 6 on 7.25. bitch to find wheels for that aren't factory 14s or 20" split from the 60s when that lug pattern was used by Ford.

Isuzu NPR used same pattern in some years, the one we had at work until our 'driver' wrecked it had them in the 16" variety. Our 68 Dodge D400 dump truck also uses that pattern, 16" split ring.Yup, wontons are 6 on 7.25. bitch to find wheels for that aren't factory 14s or 20" split from the 60s when that lug pattern was used by Ford.

I'll have to do some digging for the NPR option. So far it looks like I can drill the pattern between the stock Ford transit alloy pattern to get shiny 16s. I can have 22s made for $3400 a set of 6 with tires but I'm into women so that option is out.

I never knew 715 had a different pattern than other kaiser shit. Interesting... I'd be happy with a reasonable way to make 18" steel dually wheels. I'd love aluminum but I'd take steelies if need be.M715 wheels should be easy to come by! And you can enjoy "safety rims".
I should learn to TIG since I have one at work, I could slug a set of dodge dually wheels and redrill the pattern.

Yes, M715 wheels are 6x7.25. Let me know if you need to borrow a couple for trial fitting.I never knew 715 had a different pattern than other kaiser shit. Interesting... I'd be happy with a reasonable way to make 18" steel dually wheels. I'd love aluminum but I'd take steelies if need be.

They might be viable then. Toyota uses a 14mm stud and acorn nuts, dually version would be tits. I've basically decided I'd be building the wheel I want no matter what but a viable center that is large enough to put an 18" hoop on would be tits.

Full float FJ60 hubs, FZJ80 rear disc and caliper, bracket made from 3/8" plate. Puts its ~61.75" wide with 6x5.5.
I'd buy every toyota dually axle I could find but they're rare 30 years later.

Correct, you can use solid axle or ifs hubs too but you need to space the axle out about 5/8" or shorten the shaft since the mini hubs aren't as tall as the cruiser stuff.
I don't see the appeal of an 8" full floater though. Center an fj80 and use a ring & pinion that isn't waiting for a place to fail.
