50 inch tires

So when you go to Home Depot you have to take your pickup.

Everyone that was walking by this truck was checking it out.
I heard the owner say it was a 1972.
Not sure what make it is, but stenciled on the rear is Hercules.

I'm pretty sure that Rockwell front axles work better when they're connected... or am I seeing things? Regardless, seems like overkill for Home Depot runs.

You talking about the 3rd picture which shows a 4 bolt flange with nothing attached? If so, that is normal as those axles always have a "through and through" shaft setup. I've seen big disc brakes attached to front axles using that flange.

Overkill for sure.

Had a coworker that had a Deuce and a half and he was on a forum called steelsoldiers. Tons of pictures and info on trucks like these. The bobbed Deuce and a halves are good looking to me.
