Long process to get rollers on this truck - hard to find any wheels at all around here, found some finally but had to machine the centers to clear the front hubs and then they hung up on the calipers and the steering linkage. Too much backspace so I ordered a set of 2" spacers. That worked and now it's on the ground and rolled outside for the first time in about 16 months.

Tires are 26-1/2" tall, front edge of the running board is 5" off the ground.
