FRANKENTRUCK's New Boots

[asphaltburner]

Yo! Y'all!
Just back from "my tire dudes" at Peerless in Greeley! The light is getting poor, but here's the pics I got after I got home:





We all had to sit around and drool at Peerless for awhile. Some guy at the store was so impressed he gave me his card so I could email pics to him after I paint the truck!
Alot of drooling happened again when I stopped off at the NAPA in Eaton (where I buy all my parts,...they've been following along with FRANKENTRUCKs' build since last January!) on the way home, so I didn't get back until about four.
Here's the wheel and new 285x70x17 rubber up close:



And the special splined lugs that the Foose Spanks require for mounting on the 3/4 tons' 9/16" studs:



Obviously I'm going to be pulling the wheels, and cleaning and painting the hubs. They'll be satin black, and I'll polish up those Warn hubs at the same time.
Damn the truck REALLY needs paint NOW!!
Todd.
