Does anyone make a spacer for the rims for 3/4 ton chevy 1951 with 8 lug rims ?
Changed from stock 17" to spoke wheel 15" rims but the 15" steback is to deep and rim hits tie rod end when wheels are stright. any ideas? allready Tried driveing around in cricles didn't like it. thanks Bill

I found a set of spacers for my 51 3/4 ton on eBay, they are 1/4" and gave me just enough room to put rims from a 96 3/4 ton Chevy. I had a clearance issue in the front. I still need to install the original hub caps. Did you ever need brake shoes for your truck? I'm having a hard time finding them at reasonable price.Checkhere.

Ihave a new set hanging on my wall.
I thought I have to use them with the newer rims.
Lucky I found some brand new rims with a better off set and I have enough space.

Rickcapt I know shoes can be found for around $80 and another $75 or $80 core charge for the rears. Most places will not reline them because of the asspestos in them. I found a good used pair in a parts yard after a few trys for $20.
