Sounds like 7" front and 8" rear wheels are what you're after. That way you can run the 235/70 and 275/60 without it looking "weird". I will say that your truck sits a little high for a big and little set up. Looks better on a lower truck IMO.- mlsceo

I'm looking to get a set of American Racing Torque Thrust originals in 7 and 8.5" just to switch up the look. They don't offer a 10" which would be my preference but the 8.5 has a 3.79 back space so still looks pretty deep.- mlsceo

Wheel help/opinions
I love the 10" rears, wanted big and fat back there and I wanted to stay with 28" tall to fill out the wheel well. The 255/60s are a bit shorter at 27". My rears have a 4.5" backspace so they can tuck under the fender even as low as my truck is. The front track is narrower than the rear but in...- mlsceo

The 10" AR61s are listed as a 4" backspace. That would rub the fender on my truck. Should work for you if your truck is going to sit as pictured. Mine has a flip kit so it's lowered about 7". 8" would look good on your front I think and 235 would work on an 8".- mlsceo

Poll: alternative 20” wheel options
I'm not a fan of the big wheels. I like more sidewall on my tires. That being said, those Scottsdales are pretty slick.- mlsceo

Welcome. When you say struts, you mean shocks right? 2wheel drive or 4? LMC truck parts lists upper and lower front shock mounting bolts for 4wheel drive applications. New front shocks that I've bought in the past have included new upper bolts that attach to the frame. Which are you looking for?- mlsceo

Lowering 1981 c20
That's what I was wondering. A quick phone call would answer that question, but that's up to the members working on GMCs.- mlsceo

Lowering 1981 c20
Chassis Tech Suspension shows a 6/8 kit to fit your c2500. (the listing reads 6/6 AND 6/8??) Apparently there are two styles of calipers to deal with, bolt on or clip on. You'll want to check which ones you have, then contact them for fitment. They also show individual parts that will hopefully...- mlsceo

Lowering 1981 c20
You're partly correct. They go to 88 for GMC. For Chevy they go back as far as 1970 for axle flip kits. For drop spindles etc, they go to 71. I had to look back at the OP's avatar again to notice that he's working on a c2500 not a c20. His post reads c20, his avatar reads c2500. Which is it? On...- mlsceo

Found it at Ecklers (out of stock) and USA-1 Industries. Good to know it's available down the road. -

Where did you get that? Mine is original but getting a little brittle on the corners. -
It may not be your windshield antenna.
Bob is still rockin an old Pioneer Super Tuner that the original owner installed in the early 80's. When I got him it wouldn't pick any stations, none, pure static. Removed the knobs and sprayed the control stems with Deoxit, worked them back and forth, repeated. 100% improvement. I've used it...- mlsceo
