Yes those are the Goodyear Wrangler RT II's, but they are the 1st gen HUMMVW military tires.

36x12.50x16.5 bias ply, heavy, flat spot from setting, horribly wet road manners, but can be bought for cheap, 50 to 100 bucks all day long....

They can be cut into some better tread patterns too.

Yes the red truck is a LB, just NO BED at the time.

No, sadly. A month later my brakes failed and I rear ended a guy with a tow hitch. I used to go out to that spot a lot before I moved across the country. Did a lot of dirt races out there.

Yes these are the military GoodYear wrangler RT II. 77&79F250 pretty much nailed it as far as performance but for the price they are a pretty awesome set of tires. I think they look perfect on these trucks though.
Thanks

Yes I did Pickupman. Wasn't an easy decision, but I bought a '76 crew cab and my wife said I couldn't have both at this time. I will get another standard cab someday, but it will probably be a bump side.

This picture is from the day I brought it home and pressure washed it.
Nice ride! Mines almost the same color scheme. Check out my garage/gallery.

Yup, you can play along..........was a nice color on your rig! Color coordinated with the house, even! Good choice on wheels too.....they look a little like the American Racing ones I've had before.


As it's a longbed thread (ew, that rhymed....sorry).......figured I'd throw Buford's posterior on here too.

I would advise against it and go for a set of the 2nd gen 37's that are radial's or the even better 3rd gen's that are Goodyear MTR's, Baja TA's, way better tire IMO.

37" Goodyear MTR 37x12.50x16.5 tire - Mid tread

That black SC LB is awesome looking!
