"^^^ had to modify the rims to fit those giant hubs on the truck."

I have to kind of chuckle as I am jumping through hoops trying to come up with 15" American Racing Wheels that are going to fit the giant hubs and 5.5" wheel lug bolt pattern on the '89.
Large 3.5" center holes needed too.
My '76 was 4.5 bolt pattern so that was a simple bolt on and go.
This is the look ^^^ I wanted for the '89, but not with those big *** odd sized 5.5 axles and hubs. Looked into adapters to go from 5.5 down to 4.5, but now thinking against that, as I will want to do some towing from time to time.
Have decided to stay with the factory wheels, paint them white and then put the Large 10" dog dish hub caps on it like in this picture with new factory correct size tires to work with. These ^^^ stock wheels and caps will stand up to the Florida Salt Air and Rain better than the Aluminum Wheels, being 1 mile from the (salty) Atlantic Ocean with outdoor parking and all.
Will be a great simple truck to have ready to go down here, when I come down for the Winter season. Simple to work on should any minor fix need to be done.
