I know you were buddy, I was just saying you are absolutely correct about the wheels. Already wishing I went a little bigger!

Thanks, can't wait to see how your turns out as well. You started with a much nicer truck then I did. I love those big Wilwoods, I say go for it especially with the size wheels I saw you want to run. I really like the Mag-G's, just wish they made them in 22's, I really want to run 22's all the way around. I had 20's in my head when I bought them but really like the way these trucks lay out on 22's.

Pulled the rear suspension out this weekend in preparation for my Porterbuilt rear Dropmember and inner frame stiffener. Hopefully they will be here soon! This weekend I'll work on all those pesky rivets and remove the crossmembers.

I also opened up the rear and pulled the factory 6 lug axles! I have a open peg leg rear which means it will definitely get rebuilt with a new posi and gears! Any opinions on what posi to go with?

I went with the Detroit tru trac and Yukon 3.73. The 3.73 is a little on the low side for my turbo application but you can't beat them if you're motor only.

I plan on staying motor only for a while, I would love to do a turbo setup but it's not in the budget plus I would have to swap my new cam out for a turbo friendly cam! I'm trying to decide on either 3.73's or 4.10's for the rear!

Waiting on parts is the worst. I have parts sitting around in the garage that I can't install because I am waiting on other parts, this happens all the time! As for the rivets, a cutoff wheel and an air hammer does the trick every time for me.
