It want be anything special. Just a rusty truck to cruise around the hill country and pick up parts for other projects. I might restore it one day, who knows.

My pleasure sir. You in Clear Creek as well?

Villages of Heritage point. Right down the road.

Been awhile since I’ve updated this thread. Found a set of wheels on Craigslist but they would not clear the calipers. After looking at how much meat we could remove to make them work, we started grinding until they fit. Wheels and tires would not fit in the wheel wells, cut them out and used a fleet side wheel tub in the bed. Needed a little weight in the rear and I don’t care for the wood beds. Bought a piece of 1/8” diamond plate and went to work. Still not sure if the tires I bought will fit inside the outer fender (29x15.5x15). Going to Hempstead to a tire shop that’s open on Sunday. I’ll find out in the next couple of hours. Definitely moving slow this morning.

Still looking awesome

Thank you sir

There’s no way I can put that much meat under my truck

I’m amazed the back tires actually fit. Now having issues with the wheel studs being too short with no other alternative for a longer one with the same knurl size. Plan on tidying up the wiring in the cab today
