Seen some Ex-military Chevy/gmc armoured trucks on e-bay with body removed (classified or somet). Just a chassis/truck cab,no bodywork after windscreen (bulletproof!). Can`t find ad at the minute,think they were the 6.5 V8 turbo,poss 4x4 on Dana axles ? Choice of 10+ or more,in UK but can`t remember where,Blackpool are rings a bell ?

I believe they are 8 x 170mm (6.5?) although you have to watch the centre bore size on some 8 lug rims

is it the 6.5 td or the 6.2?
I've had a couple of mid ninties suburbans with the 6.5td lump with close to those miles and they ran and drove fine but i have heard of head problems at high milage on those lumps so make sure its not overheating or using coolant

one thing that crossed my mind, if youre considering the diesel engine for economy reasons, don't, American diesels are more about torque and power and fuel savings will be negligable over a V8 petrol
