Default Re: Truck based woody

Like I've been saying , we are swamped at work so now I got to order tires because I'm flush again. 6.50 x 16s, the rear tractions from Miller Tire and the front hwy tread somewhere else. Tubes from Miller. Digging through my collection of correct wheels, I'm glad I have hoarded wheels and tires all my life. ... On another front, I got to do a test fit of my rear barn doors today. I think they will work out OK. This woodie is being built in the more simplistic style of the pre-war wagons with mostly squared off corners so I opted for simple window treatment. I want these barn doors well sealed as I hate exhaust fumes stinking up the trip, therefore I try to stay one step ahead of how they will be weatherstripped.
