Sure are...may be dumb, but when I bought the truck, one of the big selling points were the wheels, amongst other things.

It was a good combination of both. I'm a real big fan of Mother's products. Used hard compound wax all the way to a fine polish. Really made her shine nice and deep. The wheels were in nice shape, just dull. So I used Mother's aluminum polish with fleece (terry cloth scratches the wheels more then polish them). Just lots and lots of elbow grease. The hood and the roof are too far gone, however that gives me an accuses to do some bodywork and give her a full new coat ;-)

Hmmm, well I'm not to sure on that one. My only thought would be maybe the weight difference between a reg cab and a cc (but thats my only guess, all running gear seems to be stock). Question though...what tires (brand and such) do you run? And how are your clearances, any spacers? My duals are about ready for new treads and the fronts don't have too much longer, so I was going to replace the lot. I was considering 265/75's but wasn't to sure on the fitment. Any insight would be GREAT.

I got some cheap 265s in the front (Americus brand made by who knows which big company), they are load range E rated at 3400 lbs when used as singles, and are highway-friendly tread, not quite as wide as they should be tho, but hold the road pretty good. In the rear I still run 235s, tho different pairs one being some old Firestones, no spacers between wheels, altho clearance is a bit too close for my liking - they don't touch tho, just get close. I wanna get the rears replaced soon, but I want some A/T tires as this truck goes in wet fields and also though snow drifts, but I don't think I'll have the cash this winter season... and if I do, I'll still go with 235s.
