Re: Wheel decision need some input
Having the tires mounted tomorrow. I was going to wait till I did the disc brake conversion. Have everything except the booster and master I ordered them from Pickmup . They are in transit I even decided to buy 72 front lines from Inline Tubing and the rubber hoses from Brake Hose Unlimited. Heard a lot of negatives about the hookup of the calipers to the factory 68 lines .

I feel like letters out would have been done "back in the day".

Re: Wheel decision need some input
I'd put BL out, if the WL blue soap won't scrub off. I used '73+ brake lines when I did my conversion. I just had to engineer the routing, since I didn't change the front steel lines from the drum brake configuration. Maybe I'll do that before the next brake job, which will be in 2400 at the rate I drive this truck.

Re: Wheel decision need some input
Yes I did . Not happy with the rear I must have been in a brain fog to buy 245/60s . I did a lot of measurements and I can fit a 275/60 tire so thats what I'm doing . Front will come down with the disc brake conversion Ill be doing in a few weeks got all the parts now . But Im taking it to the C10 Fall Revival in NC in two weeks . So far as I know it hasnt been cancelled because of Helene
