hey texas... looks awesome so far. what profile tire are you running in the rear? I'm running a 30 right now, thinkin of bumping it up to a 40 profile. The 30 looks too skinny.

texas56 · 02-17-2010, 09:55 PM

I ran a 305/45/22 in the rear. I ran a 255/35/20 in the front. Seems to work pretty good. I might go to a 40 series after these are wore out. I really want to sell these tires and wheels and go to a white wall and spider bullet cap!

This truck is where I got the paint color Idea from. Really impressed with this build from top to bottom came out very well

I didn't see any mention of how you're mounting the cab. Sounds like directly on the frame? No gap? Looks like you've already got the trans dog house.

Laid_Out_50 · 02-26-2010, 12:05 PM

Killer truck

texas56 · 03-06-2010, 09:16 AM

texas56 · 04-12-2010, 12:47 PM
