Re: Nearly Done …
Oh yes, the run to the local ice cream shop! Awesome truck! I would drive that too!
Thanks for the update. Regards, Chris and Cheryl

Re: Nearly Done …
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 |

Re: Nearly Done …
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!

Re: Nearly Done …
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!

Re: Nearly Done …
Making front panels to direct the airflow into the radiator, protecting my feet from engine heat, and Pearl (the name my wife gave the truck) gets a new set of shoes ….
