Hey Phil,
Well that's a beautiful truck! I notice you even live in a town Green something.. You had to paint it green. .
I've always been a fan of that British racing green.

In one of your garage pics I see a huge drainage pipe in the background pointed right at your nice
new garage. Here in Texas it never rains but when it does .. it's like 10 inches. Point that drainage pipe at something else
you have too nice a garage!

I really admire your work & effort and thanks for taking the time to show us how it's done. What's next?

It’s nice to assemble every now and then to feel the progress. I’m going for a hot rod farm truck.

I didn't measure it then. It sits higher front and rear now.

Tires

I have read a lot of 235,s on the front. Do you have 255,s on the front also?? I want to stay all one size, as large as I can without prob!ems. The rims I have now are (I think) late 80,s Ford truck.5 on 51\2 with 8 rounded triangles in them.I don't see a width on them. They are 15" .Came with the truck and they fit so mag wheels are not high on priority list right now. Just had not heard of 255,s on the front or it if would rub.
