just picked up a 76 Chev 5/4

Having gone the STA route myself, I would recommend you get a set of the later 16" chev rims and go with an aggressive Wrangler radial.

While I am all for original as possible, the STA tires are the last non-trailer tire made in the 16.5 size. I put mine on in the late fall and parked the truck outside for the winter. By spring, they had weathercracked to the point that I am sure that one or two of them would not pass safety.

As such, I have been avoiding STA tires as much as possible. A google search on the brand show that I am not alone with having experienced the premature weather-cracking of their tires.

Cam pattern is no problem, I'll have it here. I may have some extra of the maintenance manuals as well. I don't have too much for the mod instructions nor for the various layouts of the SEV shelters I'm afraid.

I'm not sure as so many years have passed, but I think when the trucks had the van body on them they may have had a slightly larger rear spring pack on them. I'll have to look it up in the parts manual to confirm.
