Are you gonna 'wheel it? If so, stick with the 33's so you don't break so much stuff (ie: front diff's, u-joints, etc on the truck). If it's a mall crawler add 12" of lift and 44's!!!! Just kidding.

Nice looking truck btw. Don't be scratching it up and wrecking it!

Your truck looks great, and personally I too like the look of the 33's on your truck

To be perfectly honest, it looks good on 33's. However, when I change the tires on my 67 f250 4x4, I'm going to 35's...

(and, yes, mine is *such* a mall-crawler)

1970?

This is a 1969 grille, used only in Rangers.

Notice that the center horizontal grille bar is indented and painted red.

it has a fuel injected 302 out of an 96 explorer, zf 5 speed and matching t-case out of a 1995 f250, dana 60 limited slip rearand dana 44 front with 3.54 or 3.55 gears. the interior has a seat out of a 1995 ford. the engine compartment isnt as nice but dont look bad, i mounted the explorer computer on the firewall behind the motor, i still need to get some king of intake besides the factory explorer air cleaner. i have more pictures in the link, but none of the engine compartment. the paint isnt as nice as it looks in the pictures
