BOOOO, it's an underdrive :(

Re: Finished - Custom 20x10 Super Singles For My 1936 1-1/2 Ton

I'll say, another decision maker of the whole project was I couldn't find "off road style" tires for the dually. The only reproductions available (that I could find) are the firestone highway tires....

Re: 1936 Model 51 Dump - GVWR - Commercial Reg. Issues

I got motivated this past weekend and pulled 2 of the rear tires. After that I was able to get the truck to pass regular car inspection. This means I can use it as a daily-driver and haul whatever...

Re: 1936 Model 51 Dump - GVWR - Commercial Reg. Issues
