1989 Chevrolet C1500 Driver Rear Side View

One variation on the C1500 body styles is what’s known as a phantom dualie. An Extended Cab longbed truck, like this 1989 Chevy belonging to Siegfried Montaro Jr., gets 1-ton dualie rear fenders (or a complete box swap). Instead of the 1-ton’s dual wheels, phantom trucks use super-wide Pro Street tires. These 21.5x15 Mickey Thompson Sportsman tires are mounted on 18-inch-wide Budnik wheels. It’s easier to get a 1/2-ton pickup super low than a true 1-ton.
