Re: Bowtie468's Extreme '68 BuildPage
How are the Sportsman S/R tires? Rainy/wet weather? expected miles before replacement? I'm going to run the 29x15x15s for now on a 12" rim and when I do get my 20" "street" tire/wheel combo later on I will be running the 29x15x20. I figured they will last longer than a drag radial on the street.

Re: Bowtie468's Extreme '68 BuildPage
Hey Bowtie468, have you came up with a 31" alternative yet since they don't produce the 31x16x20 anymore? I have a 20x12 Vintecs with a 29" drag radial and I need a taller tire too. Would like to go to a 31" tire . Let me know if you come up with an alternative. I would be willing to go in to get a set made if we could get 100.
How do the S/R's hook with that much HP? I have about 700hp myself.\ By the way. Love the stance of your truck.

Re: Bowtie468's Extreme '68 BuildPage
Spent a little time after the 'Bama show to get the licence plate done . If y'all remember it was still the original yellow . Decided to keep it somewhat rustic in appearance . This was all done in powder coat. I call it .. Powder Patina .
![]() The beauty of this is that you can play with it until you get the effect you like . And if you mess up , simply blow all the powder off and start over with the secondary color . Once I liked what I was seeing , put it back in the oven to bake that color . Finished it off with 80% clear powder which gives it just the right sheen . This was before baking the black powder. You can see the detail a little better in this pic .

Re: Bowtie468's Extreme '68 BuildPage
Just wondering if anyone has come up with any 31x16x20 tires. This is what I was planning to run and I went to order them from M/T and realized that they no longer make them. I tried calling, but they are shut down for the holidays.
Has anyone tried to squeeze any 31x18x20s under a 67-72 C10? I just did a little measuring and it looks like they may fit. Now finding a wheel my be tricky. Extremely awesome truck by the way. Last edited by PCella; 12-30-2015 at 06:30 PM. |

Re: Bowtie468's Extreme '68 BuildPage
Not sure if you can get them in there without frame mods . You can try calling M/T but i never got the answer i was looking for . ill just go back to 29" when the time comes , unless i wind up selling it before then .
