Looks nice. Where'd you buy the Coopers at?

I wish I could drive my '78 already - getting there, though...

the wheels are 4.5 backspace and i think 12mm offset, and they fill the wheel well very nicely. they came from ebay, wheeldiscounters (ebay store) and are american racing, no complaints, first run, top quality wheels. the tires, i tried to get from summit, they only had 2. i managed to find them locally. i dont think this truck has had round tires on it since i bought it and it is freakin sweet!! better start scrounging for gas money again!!
