Re: 215 85 16s
Ran on 35 psi. Still a bit stiff. Gonna do the next run on 30. But.... I gotta say it stays so straight ahead between the ditches, running nice and true. I don't have any way to balance these, but...

Re: 215 85 16s
Yes Mark... 10 ply rating, but I dont think they really have ten plies (plys?). Radials always have that flexible sidewall. I don't know how wide my rims are but they mostly came from jailbar half...

215 85 16s
OK, this size tire came stock on dually pickups for many years. Maybe some still do, but I think the newest stuff is 17-18". Anyway your average 28 year old refinery worker making 70 grand a year...

Re: What did I just buy?
Anybody know the bolt pattern on the rear wheels? 28-29 should be worm gear, but can't tell from photo. Not sure if all AA's were the same. Thanks

Bench seat is perfect. At these shows a lot of guys drive around in golf carts or all terrain contraptions. I like to keep it period correct and cruise in something more appropriate. Those of us that...

What did I just buy?
I have had 3 AA fords in the past 50 years. This one was pretty cheap for a runner and I thought it was 'cute' sorry.... I have 10 acres of woods and this was billed as a home built log skidder....

Re: 1947 1 ton pickup
OK, I get the paint thing. Acrylic is a one stage thing then. If I put anything with ANY gloss over my bodywork, it's not a pretty site. Hats off to you guys who can pull this off.

Re: 1947 1 ton pickup
I know the bed is the tray, but what is a 2pack? And original wood in the tub? Is the tub the floor of the tray? It must have been in very sound condition when it arrived in Aus, huh?
