Re: Steelies and Bias ply

Is this a restoration? Just wondering why the choice on biasply? Have you ever rode in a truck that had 4 biasply tires on it? Will certainly look original!!

Re: Steelies and Bias ply

it's not really a driver maybe a sunday driver.
It's close to being all original.
love that original bias ply look....
Radials will don't have that look with the big blk sidewall
used to have a F100 with ply's on it
would not like to drive for 2 hrs on the highway with
them but through the city for a cruise will be ok.
And you definitely have to hold on to the wheel.....

Re: Steelies and Bias ply

Okay.....you understand. Carry on sir! ;o)

At least the 4 ply will help by not making it ride like a tank. Can you post a pic of the truck? Although small, looks nice in the avatar.

Hey Mister-B,

I would look into powder coating in you neck of the woods. It cost a little more than paint but it will last you a long time.

A place local here in my area quoted me $40 per rim to sand blast and powder coat.

Word of advise, make sure they are straight before you invest that money. I took mine to a tire store and they mounted them on a balancer to check for bends in the rim.
