I like that price! Mine are the Goodyear 37x12.5x16.5.

thanks for the pictures rich..
i think he has the longer adapter like pic#1+2, but with the offset shift rail connector like pic#3-5 .. i am not sure of the reasons for the differences.. could it be the short adapters with the offset connector bar are for a shorter wheelbase like a bronco, and the longer adapters with the flat connector bar type shifter are for a long wheelbase.. there also seems to be differences in the shifter handle itself .. i guess it may be best to just fab up the parts rather than try to figure out why there are all the differences and try to get the correct parts

Usually. They are a distributor for old military tires. He had some big ones there when I got those, 54 or something like that. �� I can go down and check this week if you want. I can't remember the name of the place but know where it is.

When I got mine, I bought 5 and it was right around $350 total.

I'd sure appreciate that if you would! Or if you think of the name I'll do some phone calling.

RC Summit has 16.5's that are 5 on 5 1/2 Ford lug pattern, and they are fairly cheap. That is how Unk Bob got 37" military takeoffs to fit ol Kabluey.

I can go look at my manual trans (NP-435 4 spd with a Np-205 hooked to it) to see it there is a big difference in the xfer case lever linkage versus auto trans??

Thanks Rich
I did find the Norman Oklahoma guy's ad. That's probably where we got the tires for Ka'Bluey, and Ches.

Rain and Thunderstorms here today, and our March monthly dinner this evening.
Y'all have a good day.

Unk Bob

good morning missouri.. should be a nice day out there today.. i may have to go get some work done on something..

rich i looked at those wheel ads but i couldnt find any cheap ones.... i dont know if the std. trans tranfer case shifter is the same or not.. but a picture would be cool just to look at the differences then try to figure what i am dealing with on jeffs truck, just to help with my own curiosity

$76 bucks is cheap for a very odd rim size like a 16.5 that is 5 on 5 1/2. The 16.5 8 on 6 1/2 can be located way easier and way cheaper.

I'l get a pic of the 4spd and NP 203 shifter later on today.
