That looks great! What mileage do you get running those tires and did it change when you got them?

How do the Nittos perform? I'm considering them (same size) for my next set of tires.

Your truck looks great! Thanks for sharing.

Nice job. Looks good. Great that you saved the extra work of changing out bushings.

And nice uncut EB as well (what we can see of it). My dad has a 66 halfcab that is supposed to be that very same color instead of the primer grey it wears now...

Thanks all, I'm really pleased with how it came out.

What's the story on the EB?

I can't remember how that thing got there. I'll ask this weekend at our tech session.

What kind of wheeling do you do to upsize to 35"s?

I'll probably stick with 33's. I'd like to avoid having to regear if possible. I don't beat the 80 down on the trails, I save that for the 40. Our trails around here are a little tight, get too crazy and a tree will surely have your lunch, or rain gutter, or glass, or .....

What mileage do you get running those tires and did it change when you got them?

I dropped about a half a mile to a gallon with these from OE. I'm getting around 13.3 average mpg.

How do the Nittos perform? I'm considering them (same size) for my next set of tires.

I love'em! I don't do a lot of rocks just yet w/ the 80, but they do well in the mud-n-muck and the few rocks I've challenged.

Thanks that sounds like a perfect compromise of highway/offroad.

How do you figure that when there is nearly an 1.5" difference front to back. Look at his measurements, picures are almost always deceiving.

1.5" isn't very much over the length of the vehicle.
