Vannin' Home Forums General Discussion Introduce Yourself..... New member with 74 B200

Hello all! I just purchased the customized 1974 B200 that was on ebay last week. http://www.ebay.com/itm/231216183482? I saw it discussed here in the ebay finds section (I am not a yuppie by the way lol). I am headed to Iowa next week to pick her up and drive it back to Pittsburgh. Nothing like a 750mi road trip to get myself acquainted with my new best friend. I am a lifelong Mopar guy and have owned many of them over the years but have always wanted a survivor type 70's custom van. This one definitely fits the bill. One thing I agree with everyone on is the wheels have got to go!! So I need some advice. My initial thoughts are Cragar S/S as those always seem to look great when I see other vans with them on it. The size of the wheel/tire combo on it currently is: Front: 15x8 with P265/50 and Back: 15x10 with P295/50. Will this same combo look good with the Cragars? I won't know the offset until I get the van home. Any pictures or advice would be appreciated. I also would like to add some side pipes as well but am unsure if the sliding door presents any issues with that plan? Just as a side note I wouldn't say I am entirely new to Vanning. I bought a 2003 GMC Savanna AWD van brand new and drove it for 10 years everyday to the tune of 265k miles. Thanks for the help, guys!

The Cragar S/S is not a bad choice or just do Google image searches of all kinds of the old Mopar muscle cars like the Super Bee's, Cudas, Chargers, etc and find a wheel that emulates the style from the haydays of Mopar Muscle.

Welcome to the site..I was watching that van on CL...Congrats

I meant e-bay

Welcome from the U.K.
Also you could think about slot mags,cyclones or something along those lines so you've got a few more options.

I am pretty sure I want to go with the Cragars. Just not sure about the tire size. 50's front and back doesn't really look that great to me.

Welcome 67deluxe......awesome purchase dude.....and yes on the Cragars..

Nice purchase, I too say you can't go wrong with Crager s/s wheels. Personally I'd go for a set of slot mags for that real old school vibe.

Also considering the Wheel Vintiques 03 series Comet wheels. They look awfully close to Cragars and are less expensive. I actually think they may even look a little more vintage than the Cragars. I will be sure to post some pics once I get her home and cleaned up with the new wheels. Anybody put side pipes on one of these with the sliding door?
