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!

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.

Here's my '80 in all its Burnt Orange Metallic glory. The side shot is before I put smaller tires on the front and added the roll pan.

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

What size tires did you have on there?
I have 255 60 15's and they look small in the wheel well. Those seem to fill it up pretty good.
