Hey guys. I'm out of town for another week, so I've been ordering a bunch of parts for my '56, to install when I get home. I've got a couple of questions, though.

I ordered the seat belt mounts from Mid Fifty, now I'm looking at three point belts from Juliano's. I'm assuming that I can use their soft retractable three point belts, however: how long do I need the belts to be? I'm in NY and the truck is in TN, so I really can't go measure it. I'm still using the stock bench seat.

Secondly, with my truck being an F-350 dually, I have 17.5x8 wheels. I'd love to get a set of radials for it, but so far I can't find much of anything. I don't need period correct whitewalls or anything, I just need some that aren't dryrotted. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

 

8r17.5 is still popular, Yokohama makes them, among others. How tall do you need them? 215/75r17.5 is alittle shorter if you need to go that way.

 

I looked at the Yokohama web site and didn't see any 17.5 tires.

Without being able to physically measure the mounted outer diameter of my tires, I really don't know what size they are. The only thing printed on the sidewall is 17.5x8.
