Let's see all the 73-87's

I'm still trying to make up my mind on what to do to my '77 long bed. I was really leaning towards an old school lowrider thing, but at ///RA All Star in Millinton, I saw a long bed laid out hard on big ass wheels, and it made me start second guessing myself. So I want to see some square-bodies laid out on big wheels. If you know wheel size, post that too. I'd prefer long beds, but I know they are few and far between. Thanks.

Here's what I'm starting with. I'm the second owner of this 88,000 mile 1977 Chevy Long-bed. It has a 350 and an automatic. Seems to be fully loaded for the time and I still have the original window sticker.

Well, since this didn't get any replies, hows about, what are the biggest wheels done on a bodied square-body? Biggest I could find was a 24". If my math is correct, you could run 26's and clear the hood if you only went to the pinch, not sure about past the pinch though. Any thoughts?

Ive seen 24s but not 26s. I heard there is a couple people that are planning on running a 26.

id stick with a 22 so u can run a sidewall on the tire thats just my preference it doesnt take over the top big wheels to make these trucks badass.....

I'll probably not go bigger than a 22, especially since I want to go to true rocker. I was just curious what could be or has been done. I plan on using the truck to pull my ranger around, and since I'll be running BOA, I figure I won't get enough lift to clear anything too big. I'm thinking of running 22's and trying to get a 40 series tire under there.

my squarebody jake from phat phab in oklahoma city is building.

I've been following the build on OKCMinis....damn clean truck, sir.

Jezabelle here will lay out flat with 24's..i've got a 15in notch in the back...the tubs and cover are even with the bottom of the rear quarter windows....but with the 22's i can cut off the pinch and still fit under the rear cover....26's would require going above the rear quarter window bottoms....this is not that outrageous....but i dont want to go to a smaller master cylinder from a geo and hope that tiny thing would stop this behemoth....
