I was in Birmingham at the Power Tour when He finally made it, maybe next time. Old ones were 29x15.5, new ones are 31x16,

I have the wide rearend, if you have some weight in the and hit a hard bump they rub just a little. I'm going to build a 67-70 rear and then it should be perfect.

yea looks kool but I think if you want to get a good tuck to get the truck level your going to have to raise your tubs...like I said mine looks sweet with 29's on it but the 31's are a bit tall..you can see here ( its laid out) its still a bit high and the rubber is hitting the top of the tub with about 1/2" before the axle bottoms out to the stops..between that and the added height of the tire I'm not sure I like it??/ But it seems like the 31's are easier to come by used??? If I have to but new it will be back to the 29's and to a radial.....but like I said the tire wear is unreal...and its not because I'm being hard on them I think its just the amount of miles I drive...beig a DD is tough..an example is that tomorrow I'm heading to Laconia for bike week and that will be a quick 200 miles on them?? My bonnie trip was over 300 a trip into town will run 40 miles....but I'll be dam'd if I'm not going to drive the hell out of it...I may have to step back to the 70's ( YEK!!) for my DD stuff and save the tires for show'n tell

Nice truck

**Captainfab** · 06-17-2010, 12:30 AM

Since this thread is about Fat Tires, tell us what the tire and wheel combo is. They look like Hoosiers to me, but what size? Does your Dad have a build thread?

Yep they're hoosiers, they are 31x18.5/15, stock truck rallyes with about 12 3/4in of backspacing. No build thread though.

**Captainfab** · 06-17-2010, 01:58 AM

That engine sounds good....any info on how it's built?

Kevin,
The pics you posted of the gold/white '66 look cool. Which track was this truck running at? And do you know any other details about it?

It was at my local track in Montgomery, Alabama. Those pics are a little old they were on a computer that died. I probably took them 2 or 3 years ago.
