New tires make a heck of a difference...
They even drive better when all the tires are the same size ;)

I drove my Dads truck home from the farm, and there wern't two tires that matched. What a handful !

Finally Got The Important Big-Ticket Stuff Out Of The Way. Engine Rebuild, Brake System, Floor-Pans And Cab Mounts, Wheels & Tires. Now For The Fun Stuff. I Do Plan On Having Some Pin Striping Done On The Truck, Nothing Over The Top Just A Little On The Dash And A Small Piece On The Hood. With Pin-Striping Ive Found That "Less Is More" Clean Minimalist Approach Looks Best. Also Some Stainless Ribbed Trim Rings & A Nice Antenna To Complement The Look. I Have A Couple Ideas For The Interior As Well. Not Bad Progress For 1-1/2 Years Work. LOL...

Thank You For You Comments. There Aren't Many Decent Looking Wheel-Hubcap Options For The 8-Lug Trucks, So I Was Delighted To Find These. The Smaller Tires Improved The Steering As Well, I'm Overjoyed To Say The Least.................
