Yea I do agree. I’m pretty sure lifted 4x4’s with radials weren’t much of a thing that far back either. I was not alive so I can’t say for certain

Lifted I might come closer to believing. Radials, not so much. My Dad built tires for a living from 64-91 and the changeover to radials was late 70s. I started driving in 1977 and I was still buying bias ply tires. Most 4wd trucks in those days ran the co-op tires or snow tires. Studded in the winter. I don't know how right this information is. I'm just going by memory.

We notice these things. But the vast majority of people watching won't notice.

I'm sure the people producing this show aren't going for 100% authenticity. They just want to crank out another episode.

I see many flaws in shows and realize that I'm the only one in the room that sees it.
