New wheels

I got my wheels from Early Wheels powder coated and BFG T/A radials mounted today. As soon as we get all the bed, doors and bumpers and all the other stuff on we can set the ride height to the original. Looks like it need lowering a couple inches. All the parts will be red like the cab.

You are right about the hubcaps. This is the way it is going to look when finished. I like original ride height so mine won't be quite this low.

This is cheap air conditioning but you have to wear googles and keep your mouth shut or you will be eating a lot of bugs. Thanks. Larry. By the way your truck looks fantastic.

Stephen67- who sells the baby moons that fit the original wheel? Was just about to start researching this but since you mentioned it I will save a little time and just ask.
Thanks
