I give the photographer a lot of credit. We were discussing it and he was really picky about making the pic loon the same as it looked in real life. The wheels were not cooperating.

No. Same body as the 150's when they made em. Pretty much a light duty 150. So same size. Oh ya Jim nice pictures. I love the height of the truck. Makes the wheel wells do something. Its weird with the new trucks they sit so high and the stock tires end up like 2 inches into the wheel well. Makes me wonder why they even bothered with the wheel wells.
