Farm-skinnies and split rims?
The farm truck I purchased a year ago came with a sweet new pair of 'god knows what' brand tires on the back, on a pair of split rims, with inner tubes. Where I'm from people either call them tall-skinnies, or farm-skinnies. My trucks 2wd and the wheels/tires on the back are much bigger than the ones on the front, I'll say with those hooks back there it really digs down and got me through a real snowy winter and out of a few muddy fields.
I plan on eventually switching to some 90's or 2000's GM 16 inch wheels because I've been told split rims aren't exactly the safest, and the 8lug 15 inch wheels on the front are hard to find tires for unless you want something not for a 3/4 ton truck or you wanna buy Cletus' old mud tires. Not to mention some new chrome would look nice farther down the restoration process. Now, I have seen a couple cutouts from old truck magazines from the 70's and early 80's with these gnarly looking 4x4s on split rims and those zig zag tall skinnies.. My question is does anyone have pictures of their rig or any other pictures of these old trucks on skinnie tires and split rims? I think they look pretty sweet
