Swapping wheels and tires around again. I finally installed disc brakes and power steering on my 68. I dig this setup so far, picked up some kick on chrome from summit. Still need to cut hole in front caps for the lockouts. I also installed a pair of or spicer hubs I picked up a while back.

They are used Falkens off of my dad's raptor, they ride good but made some noise. Not really a problem on this truck.

I like the look of the painted deep dish steel wheels with the hubcaps.

I installed caps on rear axle and ran the truck on jack stands to find center of cap with marker. Drilled a small pilot hole and used hole saw in drill press and a 6x6 block of wood.
