Thank you.Ya i like the steelies and caps.I will go back and forth with them.The slight problem i am having is the truck is squirley with the old "maypops" on it. And it would benefit the true ability of this truck to have a bit more tread on it. Stay tuned.,

Re: The Snortin' bull

New wheels.Well I decided to add some morefun and tread to the truck.Sticking with the period 60's kinda hotrod look and a budget I scored these Cragar Eliminators. I had been watching out for these. They are tough to find as they are discontinued and looking for a match set is tough.17 X 8. Wrapped in 245/45/17 b. f Goodrich comp a/s 2. What a difference in ride and control .

Re: The Snortin' bull

Working out another bug. Accuair pressure sensor leaked air.It may of froze condensation? or just became a leaker.I did have it in the middle on one tank on the end of the tank.The Accuair guy's schooled me a bit and than sent me a new sensor.There is a difference in my old sensor and new.Back on the road.

Re: The Snortin' bull

Some new tailgate chain's and the gate rattled a bit in the past ,so a little weatherstrip on the inside edge left and right tightened it up.

Re: The Snortin' bull

Sway bar on a suspension that is bagged take's some time to set up. I am trying to make sure no binding can occur.
