New tires for the F1


Got the wheels powder coated and installed the new tires. I couldn’t find 6.5s in this style so I went with 7.0s. This truck see lots of rural gravel roads and this is the look I wanted.

Your truck has some good character and the new tires adds to it.

The traction tires or "mudgrippers" look good on your unrestored truck. But don't the front tires make it hard to steer?

It doesn’t seem that way at all so far, but I’ve only had it out in the neighborhood . The old tires were 40 plus years old so that’s what I’m comparing to.
I did notice there was some play in right front kingpin so there’s another project.

Less rubber contact on the road with mud grips, it would seem. Steering would be easier, in my limited estimation powers.
