It is 5 and 5. The wheels are Eagle Alloy 212's with Toyo 275/55/17 on 17 X 8 in the rear and 255/55/17 on 17 X 7 in the front. BTW they are for sale too!

Vanilla and the orange that is on the new chevy cobalts. I think it is something like fusion orange. I would like to take credit for building this truck, but unfortunately I cannot. I picked it up from a guy that built it locally and did a great job might I add. I've done a little bit to the motor, but everything else was his creation. I am very happy with this truck and had I not picked this one up, I would have built one very similiar. It is everything I would want in a square body.

Thanks for the compliments guys. I cannot get over what a great forum this is.

I believe they're the same type wheels that I have.. it took a while for them to grow on me... but I like 'em pretty well. BTW, KILLER TRUCK!

I have relatives in Beaumont, your neighborhood looks just like theirs.

Re: How about some pictures of '73-'87 short beds

no it just has a piece of concreteply used to make the floor and sides of the bed and they used parkers to hold it to the body of the bed then they bolt it through and through to the bed .
the metal floor and the supportbeams that hold the floor to the frame normaly have dissapeared allmost completely from rust

Sweet video! I like how the music seems to get more hardcore as the progression of the truck goes on.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
