That white one is my favorite of those two, but that 70 something model is sharp looking too.

Thanks guys. The white one is my daily driver but is currently getting a frame off rebuild. The black one is my dads truck.

Do you go often to ocmd? If so you may have saw one of my other trucks at some point

What tire sizes are you running on the white on in this pic?

Thanks

205/75 up front and a 325/50-15 Mickey Thompson drag radial in the back. Same wheels that are on the 85 but it has a 225/75 regular radial in the back

Gah... Figures... Every time I see a tire combo I like the rears are only available in drag radials....

I may just have to slap some 275/60-15s on the back and live with it.

Thanks for the info.

Been awhile since I’ve updated. Finally got around to finishing some things up on the truck. A c notched the frame, got an alignment, changed the bolt pattern to 5x4.5 and installed some draglites I had laying around.
