Re: Wheels & Rims
Freestate - a little off topic, but can you tell me how you took that picture above that shows the corner of your cab and the interior? Fancy lens, or iPhone, or ???
It's a cool angle that includes a lot of the truck, something I don't see often.

Re: Wheels & Rims
There are not a lot of them. I'm kinda jealous of your truck as yours is a YG8 Package C truck which gives you the nice 7 1/2 x 10 exterior mirrors and tilt as well as the A/C. Mine is a non-Package truck with A/C added. I do have a tilt for mine now and I'll be installing the green plaid factory buckets with console as well.

Re: Wheels & Rims
Welcome to the board. My first truck was a custom deluxe dark olive/med olive. I will agree on the cooper cobras and 255/70/15s. To me running the 275 series on the front is to wide. Many here have run 275 back 255 front.I wanted a 285/70/15 for the back of mine, till I found out now there about 225 apiece. Really to me on a longbed it looks better with the same size tires all the way around.

Re: Wheels & Rims
First off, I lust after the green trucks.
These are 275/60, 15's, with a 2/4 drop on the truck.

Re: Wheels & Rims
I bought those wheels about 15 years ago. I sold them with the tires right after that picture was taken. I don't recall what brand they were. There used to be a bunch of them running around here, but most weren't chrome plated like these.
They were 15x8. The next set were 17x8 Torque Thrust one piece.

Re: Wheels & Rims
The black truck has 255/70/15 and the green and white has 275/60/15. The taller 255's fill the fender wells better but give you a lot less meat on the pavement. It comes down to personal preference.

Re: Wheels & Rims
I took those with a GoPro Hero 5 Black. It does a nice job of capturing a wide view along with taking 4k photos. Below are a few other pictures that have a good angle along with a desktop background I made.

Watch out! The plaid material is pretty expensive so make sure you purchase only what you need. |

Re: Wheels & Rims
I have bought the plaid material form SMS and yes it was 95.00 a yard and I bought 2 yards probably more than I need but I'd rather have too much than not enough. Did you paint/replace your door panels as they should be parchment as should your seat belt retractors.

That was my thinking behind painting them black. It ties in nicely with the other black components on the truck. Plus, there is black in the plaid material. |
