    My truck has a new look...

    First off, many thanks to Zemo/Jamie for guiding me in this project (and my Mustang)...

    From this...






    To this...






    The old sized tires were 225x75x15 with hubcaps.

    The new ones are 31x10.5x15 with refurbished OEM 15x8 rims that I got from eBay.

    It feels like I gotta new truck...and gotta get used to riding two inches higher, it feels strange, but in a good way, lol.

    Here's the process...it was done today...






    P.S. It has a 302, it's pretty fast...but man o' man...it's sure is a gas guzzler, lol...

          The eBay seller had said in his ad, that the inner rims were custom-painted white...but they were not...they are painted with a dull aluminum color, which I ended up liking even more...so no complaints, lol.
