Saved another one - 1960 F-500

Just cab corners really, and it's not bad at all. It has the nicest '57-'60 hood on it that I have ever seen. NO damage and no rust. Opens and closes like a new one. Has a little wrinkle on the leading edge of the driver's side door and it also needs a glass in that door. Been sitting 23 years, but the engine still turns via hand, so it'll prolly run. Has green antifreeze in it still, so that's a good sign. Looks like it was parked due to a fuel problem - the tank is missing and someone had a jerry can rigged up behind the seat. lol
The best part about it though is someone put a set of 22.5" tubeless wheels on it. What a score that is.
Has a 223/4-speed with a 6.80 gear out back.

Damn that thing is cool. Glad to see it being saved!
I spotted this on ebay last night... http://www.ebay.com/itm/1960-Ford-f600-1-1-2-ton-truck-rat-rod-dual-wheel-/310921685405?pt=Salvage_Parts_Cars&hash=item486460699d&vxp=mtr
Pretty cool but I need to fix up my current fridge before I look for a bigger one. Anyone done a "Maytag Repair" Theme on the doors yet?

My truck has 22.5 x 6 tubeless bud wheels on it. The previous owner seems to think they're original to the truck. He'd owned it since the early 70s and says they have been on there ever since. All 6 match.

Anyone have any experience substituting a 235/75 R22.5 tire on these wheels in place of the original 8.00 x 22.5s? The 235s are just a hair taller and a hair wider than the 8.00s. Just wondering how well they fit on these 6" wheels. The 235 calls for a 6.75" wide wheel.
