Meh, it's a diesel conversion, 4x4 on 37" tires and one tons... been done many times. Also, won't take a corner anywhere near what my other projects will . Same is true for the 70 K10 we're working on.

Is it me, or do the 19x12 Z06 rims and tires look small on this?

Thought about sectioning the body... but also think a 22x12" Budnik from my buddy Jay (Swain) would work well, with a taller tire front and rear.

I think Giff starts assembly on the C5 chassis soon.

My friend has a new GMC pickup and I saw his, either 22 or 24" wheels and thought holy crap those are gigantic! He put them on and that pickup swallowed them up and they look great on there. Nowhere near as wide as your thinking of, they would look great.

I got 22's for my 68 C10. I personally think 22's are a perfect size for trucks and SUV's...not too big and not too small. Now, I know for auto crossing, track events, etc, 22's are too big. But, just for show, cruising, etc, it's a perfect look to me.

So far, we're doing 19x12" Z06 rims on all four corners. (I had them kicking around)

Trying to figure out tires. We can obviously clear anything.
