Re: New 64 Stepper Project
So I took it out for a local drive yesterday, drove it to a friends house up and down some hills until I had a "Grapes of Wrath" moment. My left front tire blew at the next door neighbors house. I got the tires and wheels at a junk yard when I started all this years ago. Hobbled home no damage.
On a positive note the truck never got very warm at all. With the temps I thought it might but it stayed way low on the temp gauge the whole time.

Re: New 64 Stepper Project
'Goodole Maypops'..... I think everyone has used that brand @ some point in their life.
Time for new rubber.

Re: New 64 Stepper Project
Ya I'm praying for my wheels to come in before I buy new tires. The neighbor is letting me use a tire and rim he has left over until mine come in.

I put the borrowed tire/rim on, it's a 26.9" diameter tire. The other was a 28" (235-75/15). Was thinking of going with 27's in the front (16 inch wheels front, 17's rear) but now I'm not so sure about the 27".

Re: New 64 Stepper Project
I agree with you. I think you could use a little larger tire in there and it would fill out the wheel well a little better. Truck is looking sharp!

Re: New 64 Stepper Project
Just got off the phone with Fozzies Wheels, the Chrome American five spokes should be shipped starting (hopefully) Saturday. One box from LA and another from Ohio I think.

Re: New 64 Stepper Project
Hey Rocknrod, just wondering if the Honda weatherstrip arrived yet. Anxious to know your thoughts on the fit.
