Very nice 51' and welcome. What are the specs? OG frame or s-10? static drop, bags? inline or v-8?

It's a deluxe cab on OG frame with mustang II and 4link on bags.
Running a 250 I6 with 350 trans.


Any thoughts on if I should put a 350 in it?

If you want more power, sure. You already have the trans to handle it and the rear should be strong enough for a few more pounds of torque...

Nice truck...

Tried to send you a PM but didnt have the option.

What size tires are those? Im guessing they are on a 15x7 wheel? They look perfect! Are the whitewalls 2 3/4 or 3"

Thanks!!

I'd def leave the inline in it. You could always put dual carbs on it to give it some more pep. This truck has some class, I'd leave it. So did you have to cut the input shaft on the trans? What rear end did you use?

I have one of these, but thought it wouldn't do much. Would the gain with duals be worth it. Seems like it would be more for looks than anything.

The tires are Denman Classic IV. They have a 3 1/4 WW.
I'm not sure if they are still available. I heard that the company may have gone out of business.

Those tires do look great. What is the size of the tire though? Even if those ones are discontinued someone will make one in that size.

The tire size is G78 on a 15" rim.
Also want to thank everyone for all the great comments.

Yup, those tires are pretty scarce. The thicker ww's look great though.

Thanks for the info!!

Well I do have my seat in, and they come with a flip-up consol between them. What I meant earlier is I haven't yet installed my door panels and I want to put a floor consol in that runs from the dash to the base of the seats.

The seats, from a Dodge Dakota fit perfectly, have the consol and a pop-out cup holder - 60.00 from the local bone yard
