New from Texas

Howdy - I have been using this forum for a long time as a resource and finally decided to sign up. Truck is a 72 blazer that I have had since 1995. For various reasons it was parked from 1998 until 2011. Over the last year the 327 it had when I bought it has been replaced with a 454, added rear discs, switched to a quieter posi and a more street friendly rear gear ratio, swapped the drop spindles for standard and just ordered a set of stock height rear coils that will be installed soon. Along the way a lot of other stuff that has a tendency to wear ot has been replaced/upgraded. Now I am planning to get new wheels and tires (those 80s eagle alloys are a "little" dated) and I figured this would be a good place to get some opinions/guidance since that seems to be a regular topic here.
