Below is a link to the truck's life story my wife wrote a couple of years ago.

Oh man your truck is perfect. Love the white, wheels, tires w/lettering and stance. Love to see under hood.

Looking through the pics on insta...I've got some questions:

Are you running spacers front and rear?

What are the wheel sizes and offsets...they look like Coys?

Original rear housing/axles and is it tubbed?


Thank you,

-Kevin

I'm not running spacers and its not tubbed. The wheels are American Legend Streeters. Font wheels are 20x8.5 with 255/40 tires. Rear wheels are 20x10 with 275/40 tires. I believe the wheel offset is 4.5 on the front and 5.5 on the rear. I am running a Ford 9-inch rearend with 3.50 gears purchased from American Powertrain. The engine is a ZZ454 with a 4L80E transmission. Here is a link to a video of the engine.
