I've had 33's on stock 15x7.5 alloys on a 94 and they fit fine and didn't wear funny, you'll be fine.

 

I'd go with the 12.5s. Those 10.5s just seem to look odd to me on a full size truck.

As far as TDC, yes, that's how it's done. Then take your distributor cap off and make sure the rotor is pointing to the #1 terminal. From there, you can set your timing to 10 degrees. Was the distributor out at some point?

 

I had 31 10.50s on the blue truck above and I liked the look that is why I asked.

Yes when I got the truck the distributor and intake manifold was off. When we put the parts from a 89 F150 302 that was running in my 88 we didn't do it right. I am just now figuring out the right way to do it so now I am going to fix it.

well found a 87 F150 while looking at Harley Davidson F150s.
Here are the links to them: Google Image Result for http://www.f150forum.com/members/1987-f-150-xlt-4x4-32599/albums/1987-f-150-4x4-xlt-lariat-harley-davidson-look-like/22285-rancho-4-suspension-lift-rancho-dual-front-shocks-rancho-dual-steering-stabilizers.jpg

I like the white face gauges and now LMC sells stick on style ones and I can paint my needles somehow. Really thinking do a two tone white and black to keep a Harley theme kind of. Also definatly don't want the wood grain look never cared for that. Really don't care for the tube bumpers but the flares, emblems, and such I like. What do y'all think?

That black truck is freakin' sweet!

 

I know I personally just don't really care for the pipe bumpers but other then that perfect look overall.

Found these cheap on craigslist but don't know if I should go and get them. I like the look but worried how they will look on my truck:

15 inch rims

 

50 bucks for all four is a steal. That's actually less than scrap value around here. Just my opinion, but those are my favorite factory wheels. I'd say go get 'em!

 

Ya I know it is cheap but we have to decide get wheels that could be bad (at that price) or buy a truck we have been looking at. It is hard to decide as we want another 4x4 F150.

Ok so a few updates since the last time on this old girl. Christmas day checked the firing order luckly that was correct. Next day I called on those wheels but was to late somebody else got them.
Then today the biggest update so far: played with the dizzy got it stabbed right and she fires up but only when priming. Now she isn't getting fuel but the relay is kicking in, the pumps I can hear (both inline and in tank) and the inertia switch is fine. I had fuel for a few minutes but the timing wasn't right then I set the timing right and it wouldn't get fuel. It gets very little fuel from the fuel rail so I don't know where exactly the problem is. We decided it was time to hold off since my dad had to make a run to town. So close but so far.

On a side note the Walker muffler that was on here when stock sounds sweet when it starts going to keep it till it falls off then get a thrush pack.

Any help would be appreciated I also started a side thread to get more responses.

Ok so yesterday got a new fuel filter for my truck. We took the dizzy out to go and get the control/TFI module checked. Luckly the TFI module was good. tomorrow probably possibly later today will get the dizzy back in and I think we should be good to go on my old girl.

Also got my fender flares painted and the tailgate letters done in black.

Pics sorry for the double post:

didn't get the tape off yet:

 

The flares look better in black. Nice work.

 

Thanks bob. Got one or two more coats to throw on it then might get a clear coat on it and call it good. My dad is damn good with a rattle can I still can't believe how nice they came out.

The flares were done with a rattle can too?? Does he want to paint a red crew cab?
