they are Mickey Thompson Big Rig wheels in 20x11".

You can buy them with the rest of my truck - I have decided to list it for sale.

thanks for the compliments...


Had the truck out a few times recently and mounted my V5 Ford hitch on it from a 2014 F350 (frames widths are still 37" wide even 36 yrs later). Used it to pull over a tree I was cutting down near my house.

Of course a little progress and using it puts a smile on my face and the whole family can go with me when i drive it..so for now I have had a change of heart and plan to keep it.

I'm new to the forum and am loving it so far. Lots of good info! Wondering if anyone has had any luck finding interior door panels for the back doors of a crew? '79 specifically.

Nobody repops the rear door pnls. You have to either repair or find a junk crew someone is selling or parting out. Once in a great while someone will post rear door pnls for sale on craigslist but they are asking a fortune for them.

That's kind of what I figured. Wishful thinking I guess. Thanks for responding.
