Re: my truck

What tires (size and brand) are those? That is what I want to run on my truck. I am serious in case you're not sure.

Looks like a solid truck to start with.

i'll find out tommrow. If u were closer i would trade them or sell them to u.I want rally rims


Yeah was a ton of wire looked really bad at first but most of it was for the EQ,radio, and they had like 6 speakers they had just laying around in the truck.. Than I took out all the heating and cooling wireing to.

Not doing a true frame off but replace rockers,rocker inners,cab coners,some of the floor supports, and painting.The frame on the truck is in really good shape.

Re: my truck

Great looking truck. I've been out of the loop for awhile, are white walls back in? I've always liked the looks of white walls. (ya,I'm old)
Please keep the pics coming. I'd like to see the cab corner and rocker install. I need all the help I can get. The more pics you see the more confidence a person gains.
Thanks bodyman9174
