Where's the beef?

I wonder if the rear tires are big enough.
I took these pics with my phone.

Re: Where's the beef?

Nah those arent big enough

These are big yes two different tires, but the first one is 31" tall but both are 18.5" wide




Now those are fat meats.

About the black truck up top...That truck is looking weird to me, there it something weird about the way it sits with those tires.

Re: Where's the beef?

The black truck looks like it needs to be at a truck pull hooked to the sled!

Re: Where's the beef?

The first truck needs the tires tucked and lowered !. The second truck looks much better but also sits too high in my opinion. I really like it though. The tail lights look like Dodge lights, either Dakota or full size.

Re: Where's the beef?

The first time I saw the truck I thought it had a dually axle without the fenders. When I got closer though...........

The truck has a 454 BBC making about 500 hp(he said). He lives close to me and drives by my house often. He passed by my driveway a while back, he stood on it and it roasted the tires effortlessly from about a 30 mph roll! It sounds very mean.

That blue truck looks like it has Dodge Dakota tail lights.

Re: Where's the beef?

they very well might not be big enough. a buddy of mine runs 31x 18.50 and12" engine setback on his 67 and still has a hard time hooking with the battery and fuel cell in the rear

Re: Where's the beef?

He is asking $6000.00 for it. It's not in very bad shape either. The area code is 865 if anyone is interested.
