I bought this 80 brand new with a 300ci and 4 speed. Now, she's got a fresh 351W, 5 speed, and 3.89 gears. It has had all terrain tires on it all it's life, but now I'm going to turn it into a hot rod with street tires. I'm going to tuck the biggest street tire I can on the rear.

WOW! That truck is very nice, looks like you have spent a lot of time and money on it! Someday that is what I would like my truck to evolve into...
It's tough to tell from the picture but what diesel are you running in there? I like the twins, very very nice!!
You should start your own build thread on that beast!!

It is a '96 Cummins 12 Valve, it still has a long ways to go, but it is getting there.

You realize you have posted in the 80-86 forum. For this greivous sin you must surrender your truck to me...it was worth a shot. 
You're building my dream truck...well if you put some stacks on it then it will be my dream truck.

If you c-notch the rear and add a four-link (like I am) you'll be able to fit 15" wide wheels in the back, so you'll be able to whack on a set of nice wide Mickey T Sportsman SRs.

Hey Brewtl, any idea what I can get under it without the c-notch and 4 link, just using more backspacing? I have 10" wheels now with 4 inches of backspacing. I appears based on my measurements, I could use 3"-4" more backspacing.
