My 45 gets re-Tired

[Texican]

Done some swapping, guy in LSLC wnet bigger and I got his old 32x950 15 TSL's, mounted them on some disc brake steelies and slapped on some new hub caps.......

 

[Texican]

I bought this at our Lone Star auction the other nite, not suere if I want it on here, what's your thoughts? It only requires driling 2 extra holes on top of the bib and they would not show if removed.....

Tires look really familiar. Same as i got except mine are 16 inch.

Not a fan of the front piece myself though. Just me.

Tires look great, and I like the look of the guard.

IMHO the guard would look really good in conjunction with a headache rack.

That sucker needs a lift. Do the tires rub on the front shackles. I put 33's on mine and I clear well every where but the front shackles. The tire hits the bolt and I have a nice little grove on the sidewall. Maybe someday I'll adjust the stops.

And I like the look of the front....except for the missing bumper. It looks nekid.

 

[nuclearlemon]

you got something wrong if you're hitting shackle bolts. i've got 33x9.5 swampers on my steelies and they're no where near.

looks awesome butch. don't like the guard though.

Yep X2! A black headache rack & black bumpers & rocker guards will really make that truck stand out. I'd repaint the wheels & bezel black too. I like that steel grey color man!

The short bed 45's did not come with the headache rack, The front of the bed is different then the long bed.

i think it looks good the way it is. the bar on front is simple in design and does not clutter the front end.

 

[Texican]

Jury is still out on the grille guard, not sure if I like or not......Mark is correct the short bed has no method to attach a headache rack.....
This is not the color I will be keeping on the truck, OEM was the light blue, although I'm leaning towards white or Seafoam Green.......

Looks great. The bar looks good, your decision tho...I'd put a bumper on it first because from my experience that could change your mind one way or another...

Sweet, sweet ride!

Bumper is a standard OEM unit

is that a swayback 45? or is the pic at a funny angle

I noticed that also Frame is straight as an arrow......I even checked the gap tween the cab and bed and it's constant.....it sits ass end low so maybe that's it

looks like the rear bottom of the cab is a little lower than the bed. Maybe the body spacers are to short in the back of the cab.

''Mark is correct the short bed has no method to attach a headache rack.....


that would be Mike, Not Mark
