Thanks guys. One of these days when I finish the other project I'll prob slick the dents & budget paint the 68. I think a 9-9.5" wheel would be ideal for a 275 tire. I've been toying w/putting some 255-70's on the back to help w/freeway rpm's & at the same time get closer to ideal tire vs. rim width. If you guys like my beater, I think you'll dig my RestoRod 67 as well (it's lower & has 18/20's).
