Re: post your 67-72 4x4
you can definetely see how the axles are aligned more properly in the wheel wells...chassis and drive train were tweaked really well...

Re: post your 67-72 4x4
I am not a real expert in matters like tire sizes etc...I did a slight suspension lift ...as mentioned before...I have 235 X16" on the truck now(as pictured)...how big can I go?? 265 or 285's??
just looking for a bigger tire to ride on the beach...and of course a bit cooler ride/look...well at least I am honest...LOL...walmart has the goodyears (ATV) in those sizes...and there is a wal mart about 25 miles from here...about 800 bucks for a set...what do you think??? http://i637.photobucket.com/albums/u...r/IMG_7911.jpg |

It should fit your truck with the lift you have. It will be just under 32" tall. The tires on my 67 in the above pic are 32x11.50-15's for reference. |
Re: post your 67-72 4x4
thats the same tread I was talking about...and the price is good too!
thanks for the reply... |
Re: post your 67-72 4x4
285's might work.... they are like a 33
|
Re: post your 67-72 4x4
I run a 255x85x16 on my dually it is a narrow 33 would look really good on a stock type wheel.

fixing rear cab mounts
I have two rubber mounts that are shot( the rear ones under the seat) I made up some solid rubber "hockey pucks" to put in the place of the sag...and ideas out there on removing the nut/bolt that holds them in place...
have dosed the spots up good w/ liquid wrench...anyone out there fixed this before...any have a heads up on any possible problems...thanks...t http://i637.photobucket.com/albums/u...r/IMG_7920.jpg ones side droops about 1 " the other maybe 3/4"...probably not a big deal...but it does drive me crazy... |
Re: post your 67-72 4x4
Yaeh back when I was in college (ie broke) I made some by cutiing up litttle squares out of an old tire and they worked good to level everything backout. I am from texas so I have never touched a Hockey puck but it sounds like a goood fix as long as its not to hard (stiff). As far as the botls you will have to have a back up inside the cab and you may have to remove your seat. May try an impact wrench 1st just to see if it would bust then off before taking you seat out but I doubt it will. Probably a good time to go ahead and replace the bolts and nuts as well. I always use grade 8 bolts for this.

Re: post your 67-72 4x4
thanks for the info...I was trying to avoid taking out the seat...will do as you suggested...am I to understand that the threads are not a stud? but goes through the lower cab? w/ a nut underneath...so a box wrench or similar has to be attached under the seat ( to hold bolt)to get it loose if an impact alone does not work on the lower nut?
I have looked at drawings in the LMC catalog and its not that clear how it is attached... thanks again...t |
Re: post your 67-72 4x4
Noticed you have after market head lights. How do you like them? Thinking of those and mods to HID....

It is definitely a poor design. I guess you could convert it to a thru bolt design like the front cab mount if it twists in place or breaks off. |
Re: post your 67-72 4x4
Well at least they aren't like the 73-87's. You have to cut the floor of the cab to access the nut whet it spins in the retainer.
|
Re: post your 67-72 4x4
I just cut a little hole in the rear cab support right behind the nut with a cutoff tool then welded it solid.
