25 years and still looking amazing, that's something you don't see very often.

ThIs G78 15 Goodyear Power Streak has been on this wheel under this truck since 1989. When I built the truck the Goodyear dealer found me 5 NOS, G 78 Goodyear tires.

This has prompted me to think that I may go back and dig out all the Polaroids from the late eighties and do a build thread on this truck.

235/75/15 tires on 7" wheels with 2/4 drop.

I finished this truck over 26 years ago and after all that time, the rear of the cab had settled, but I have replaced the cab mounts since these pics were taken.[/QUOT

Very nice truck! Doesn't look like it has been done 26 years.

15 x 6, 235/75/15 if I recall correctly. Wondering (out loud in my own thread) if I should keep the raised letters, go white wall or all black. You can hardly see the letters and maybe I like it that way, who knows. G, I can't wait to start driving this thing again.

Might as well throw mine in there. Small hubcaps and white rims were on the truck when I bought it and I added the P01's. Tires are 235/75R15's. Its funny how the different position of the sun and time of year changes the paint. The CList pic ( white bumpers ) was taken in Sept/Oct. and the other pic in mid February.

Here's one more. 15/ 6 1/2" front with 5 1/2" drop, 225/70 tire and 15/8" rear with 7" drop, 275/60 tire. Still looking for trim rings.

Elliot949 Very awesome looking truck. How did you get the white walls? I'm running 295 50 15's and would love to have that size in white walls.

I have found that the 30x9.50-15 tire looks perfect on a ln 8 inch rim. I think it would most closely resemble 255/70-15 but a bit taller and narrower.

Bringing this back up. Seen quite a few tire and wheel questions on 15 inch combos lately, maybe this thread will help.
