Now that is wicked!!!!

 

And now I know "the rest of the story"

Great looking truck!

Don't be doing too much with the ole leg and ankle in a cast.

 

Send the youngin out to work on it while you sit and supervise.

 

Sure sits up high. Be interested in seeing more pictures!

 

Looking good. I have a 3 ton gantry here, a very useful tool. I need to pour some concrete and get it off the dirt.

 

What is a 3 ton gantry?

 

Its a crane like what I used to lift off the cab thats rated at 3 tons

 

 

how about these tires for the MH rig?

They say not for high speeds, like that will every happen. the rear tire on the truck now is a 29" and these are 33" what do you think?

 

YYYEEEESSSSS!!!!!

 

What do They consider Hi-speed. The limit here is 50 MPH. Is that or even 60 MPH to fast for them?
They would make an awesome studded winter set
for the Bronk.

 

A P78x16" has a 6.5" Design Rim Width. What wheels you got in mind? Stu

 

the stock rims it is wearing (5" I'd guess)
so now that puts me to these and would I "have" to run tubes?

Kevin - I'm unclear why you'd need to run tubes in the 6.50" tractions listed in the Universal on-line catalog, but the next bigger size (7.50x16") is listed as tubeless. Nothing about the wheels require use of tubes. A call to Universal or Coker might answer it.

The 9.00 x 16" is too wide for a 5.00" rim, spec is 6.5". We have, though, seen the 7.50 x 16" NDTs mounted on the 5.50" wheels on Rod Kruithoff's below F-2 MH. You might get away with them on 5.00" rims. Stu

Edit - and as I think about it, my F-3 MH's manual shows there were two optional wheel widths, a 4.33" and a 5.00". Both were spec'd by MH for a 7.50 x 17" tire. Stu

 

Does the front end have the Dana 44 that was a mid year change in 55, my old 55 had the Dana.
