Click on the "Rollin Thunder" link in my sig line to see a pic of my 250. It received a full frame off that was finished a couple of years ago. New exhaust has been run all the way to the back now also.

Actually THIS is probably the best and most recent picture of it I have.

Ranger 429, I am looking for some rims like yours in a 2wheel drive (stock size) version. Those look like cragars. What are they?

Very nice truck!!

Hmmm. Those Eagles might be a cheaper alternative to the M/T Classics I've been looking at. How long have you had them and how do you like them? And how was the service from the link you posted (assume you bought them online)?

I did'nt buy them from there, I just used that link to show fozzy the rim. I've had them on the 250 for 4 years now and they look as good as day 1. Of course it helps being in the garage all winter, salt plays hell on aluminum. IIRC they were like a 115 bucks a piece.

I got the M/T classic IIs, and they are very close to the Eagle 589s, and pro comp 1069s.
I got my M/Ts for $115 each, but best price I saw was about $110.

If you look around, you could get the pro comp or eagles for closer to $100.

Yup, the Eagles on that site were $99 in a 15x10, 5x5.5, which is what I think I'd want with a set of 35" BFG all terrains. The M/Ts I was looking at were $115 each, but the site also had the BFGs which they would mount and balance for free if I buy the combo. But I won't need them until after a paint job anyway so I've got time to shop.

I have a '79 F250 converted to 1/2 ton running gear with a DJM 3/5 drop kit and factory 460/C6 combo. Next on the list is to rebuild the tranny and do some minor engine hopups. Pics are in my gallery if anyone is interested. Just click on my username.
