Wheels/tires: '60s vintage E.T. Supers, restored to original. The fronts are 15x6, the rears are 15x8.5 with a 3.0" backspace. The center caps are original, new oval ET Super caps (hard to find). The front tires are BFG 215/60-15 (to be changed to 225/60-15), and the rears are BFG Long Trail T/a Touring in 265/70-15.
These pictures are about three weeks old. It's currently undergoing surgery to gain additional ground clearance and to center the front wheels in the openings. Also, many of the dents have been removed and the fuel door access panels have been filled. The original patina is being saved, and we'll blend the paint on the repaired areas and distress it to look original.

SUPER COOL truck.
Great attention to detail and the wheel choice is perfect.
Thanks for the detailed suspension drop.
Today we are seeing more and more people throw on
just a set of drop springs and complain because it rides like sh#t.
You are definitely "doing it right", the first time.
Love it.
