Hi all. I am looking at Wheel Vintique Smoothie wheels for my truck. They offer several back spacing dimensions on their site. What is the standard back spacing for my truck? 63 chevy 1/2 ton shortbed fleetside. It has the original drum brakes system on it. Is this enough info for one of you to help me out? I am just trying to find out without going out in the cold to take measurements. Thanks

hello 63 shortbed.

basically pull one of your original wheels and measure from where the wheel bolts to the drum, to the outside of the rim.

here is a link on how to do it.
