My truck!!

Hey y'all! Just thought i'd share whats been goin' on with my ol' truck. Just got done with an engine swap, went from a wore out 302 to a fresh 351w. much much more power. 4 in lift with 37's. (i hate them). I'd love to find a set of 16" wheels, because the 16.5's are limited. My dad owned the truck for about 20 years, then gave it to me for my 16th birthday. Drove it for a year, and it sat for about 6 years until i swapped the 351w into it a couple weekends ago! Its gonna get paint soon. Haven't decided, either silver or ford fire red. Black and cherry red look great, but i like to be a little different!

Just guessing here but I think its a 78/79 cause of the blinker at the bottom of the grille, or at least I think that's what I see.

How would 35" tires look on a 4" lift? Im thinking they'd look too small. Im putting a 6" on my truck and im looking to put on 37s.

I had 35's on it. They looked fine. The 37's rub just a little. I wish I had 35x14.50 or 15.50's right now. I like a wider wheel and tire combo.
