16.5 rubber
Does anyone know where I can find 31 10.50 16.5 rubber? I'm currently running 33 12.50 16.5's but they toss too much dirt up on the side of the truck. Everwhere I check say they can't get any 31 10.50's for a 16.5 rim. They all want me to drop to a 16" rim.

Have you considered running fender flares? I have 31"s on my bronco, and just mud flaps. They pretty much come to the lip of the fender, but those flaps (mounted flush to the pin stripping near the bottom of my truck) have stopped 95% of all mud and stuff that gets flung towards the truck. How old are those 33"s?

I've thought about it, but with the race track trim (thin molding near bottom) it wouldn't look right. IMO Plus my 79 250 is almost all origonal, I'm still in the phase of not wanting to dril, cut, modify

Well thats good that your truck is all original. Ive seen too many crap piles out there that owners just hack and torch. You going to add some pics of it to your profile? It sounds like a nice ride.
