Wheel and tire combo looks sharp.

My 78 has the same bumper bend.

Those wheels look great. I just finished blasting and painting the same white wheels for my 77 explorer. I'll get photo's when I finally get it going. Hopefully this week. My back bumper is bent the exact same way. One idea I had was pulling out something and hooked the chain on the top of the bumper corner, I don't know. Anyway, nice wheels/tires and truck.

The rims and tires look great dude.

I have those mirrors too. They aren't too bad, but I always turn around and look behind me before I change lanes just to be sure.

Add me to the list with the same bumper damage. I got rear ended when I used to drive to High School in 1989.

I like those. That's what I was originally going to do with mine, but changed my mind last minute. My dad always ran those. Classic.

Those wheels look good, you better fix the windshield channel rust before it can spread.

Looks good.

I think my truck should probably have 255s on the front. I like the look of the 255s. Those BF are good tires too, I've had mine for a while.
