I'm thinking of running the 16" rims that are on it for a while. I'm not putting spacers because I want to keep all that weight under the bearings. Going to get 245 or 255/60/16 tires before I drive it. There is 235/60/16 on it now.

Loving this build. Never thought I would see a dually and think hot rod, but you are nailing it.

You should find some cool looking old school dually front wheels.... dont need to be chrome or anything.... just 16.5" phat wheels!

Maybe I'll get some 16" steel rims and dually hubcaps. Never thought of that option.

I put the order in to local rad shop for my custom radiator today. The core size will be 21"X 24" 4 rows thick (about 3 1/4") That should take care of things. They said it should take about 2 weeks.
