Looks great and beautiful country you live in. Thanks for measuring the tube for me.

 

I bet you can find some Dodge fan boy to give you some money for those to compensate for OE wheels.

 

Thank you. I'm going to trim downs the size of the box and try the USPS and if its still ridiculous I'll give your link a try.

 

When I bought my first set of tires I looked for another
dodge wheel like mine to mount a spare on.
There was a set of them for sale for $200.
Funny that 4 old Ford steal wheels are 3 times as much money as 4 chrome Dodge wheels.

 

Just enjoying the early morning and a up of coffee.

 

I went for anther short ride yesterday and ended up here looking back at what I just climbed up in my rear view mirror.
This is the biggest reason I bought the truck, I love climbing up stuff in 4wd.



Here's a short video going back down. I don't have a way to hold the camera going up because I like having both hands to steer with.



Looking back up in the rear view mirror.
I know its nothing spectacular but it is steeper and rougher than the pictures show.
Too bad pictures aren't 3D.



I LOATH trash and the trash that leave it.



Glad I gave the truck a bath the day before.

The 410 is perfect for the truck.
The low end torque is impressive and so is the Holley Brawler carburetor on steep and rough inclines.

 

With you on the trash. I’ve started always carrying garbage bags. Still makes my blood pressure go up.

 

I bought this SAK-IT to hang on the back of my ATV.
Its perfect for hauling out other peoples trash.

Its mostly beer cans. Here in Utah its illegal to have an "open container"
in your vehicle and an empty beer can is an open container so they just
toss them out.

Yu shouldn't be drinking and driving to begin with.

 

Just pure laziness. Most people don't even think about affecting other people with their actions. "Out of sight, out of mind".

 

Human pigs.

 

I'll get a friend to run the camera next time.

 

I ordered my tires from Simple Tire last Thursday, paid $19.96 for 2nd day delivery and FedEx dropped them off early this morning.
I've bought from them before and I've always been happy with their price and service.






I'm taking the old truck in tomorrow morning to get the front end aligned and I'll have them mount and balance the tires while its there.
Love my .

 

Rubiranch how wide are your rims for 285 8''?

 

I have no idea.

I'll find out tomorrow.



These tires on my '79 are 7.50x16 just like what's on my '76.
They are mounted on white spoke wheels the same width as the factory wheels that came on the truck.




These BFG M/Ts are 285 tires mounted on the same white spoke wheels.

I am not anticipating any issues.

 

So I went searching last night after you asked and those Dodge wheels are 6 1/2" wide.
