Back when I was 17 I had my 1st 69 LWB truck. I started out with a set of 32/11.50 on the rear of it that I found out later would rub the innerwheel tubs when going around a corner. My buddies uncle raced dirt track and he gave me a pair of McCreary 33/ 14.50 dirt track tires that I stuffed on the 8" rims. Looked great on the truck but with the too narrow rims only center of tire was hitting the road but man would it hook lol. Had to put air in them every other day and with the soft compound they only lasted a couple weeks on the road but I had an endless supply. What we did as kids would probably get us killed nowadays. Man I miss that truck

Most women like the strong, silent type… Fortunately for me, my wife prefers the out-of-shape, mouthy type.
