Re: Bringing the '65 back to life
The truck moved around under its own power for the first time in 25+ years today. As you can see, the rear wheels and tires have been mounted, balanced, and installed. We deliberated over running a 33" bias ply vs. a 31" radial for a bit before deciding to take the hit with regard to stance for the sake of ride/handling quality. Dad also installed the 1-1/4" front sway bar over the weekend. Next up, wheels, tires, and longer wheel studs for the front. We're going to run a taller front tire (compared to what is on there now) and will eventually drop the rear 1". We definitely want to keep it raked, but it's a little ridiculous right now.
