Nicely done, I looked back at most of your posts and am looking for the tire rim combo etc you ended up with. The stance is perfect imo.
Thanks

Love those trucks.

Thank you, all of you, for your comments. Rear tires are 235/75-r15, fronts 165/80-r15 (the smallest 15” tires I can find in radials - these are the equivalent to the 5.50-15 bias plies I believe). Just working on some cooling issues right now but she is running really well, doing everything really well actually, and wifey will be behind the wheel again tomorrow. When she drives it she can’t talk to me her grin is so big!

Gotta love it, Tom. The 40/41s are so cool. I love driving mine.

Mart - you are so right! I had one awhile back and I foolishly let it go. Although I built this for the wife, I hope she let’s me drive it from time to time!
