I figered it out...

I finally decided what I am going to do with my 77 F150, I have decided to paint it silver and am going with some 33/14.50/15 SSR tires on a black 15/12 rock crawler rim. Not to big but appropriate for missouri mud and rocks. With a mild 4 inch lift. some tough ranchos and to top it off a holley 600 dp carb to replace the old no nma that i have been runnin. thank you for all of the suggestions, and for all of you guys that want to clean up your dash on your old truck i Rhino lined mine and it looks great. Happy Wheelin hope to see ya some day, (so you can pull me out)

I would rethink the double pumper. Other then that, any modification is a good modification - means you'll be rolling on 38's and 1 tons at least some day.

i woudl at LEAST go with a 35 with 4" of lift....why even lift it for 33" tires???

for the carb i would go with something else...unless your motor is BUILT

i prefer q-jets or motorcraft 2bblls myself...but i like carbs to be efficient and run at crazy angles

I wouldn't run 33s. That's what I did, and am already wanting at least 36s Just step up to it and get some bigger tires than that.
