Re: re: New wheels are in
I just drove my truck yesterday after work to test the steering and I don't have that much steering as I did with the 20's but I was able to make a u turn in a 4 way intersection without having to put it in revers so I think that's very good for what it is.layedout72 wrote:in a couple pics if you look close enough the tires are pushing up on the bedsides on the red one. atleast it looks like that to me. That has to be a 32 inch tire or taller. I dont think the bump besides are but maybe 31.5 top rail to lower point of bed side. Maybe the dents are taller though.
I installed my bed last night and it looks like I will only need to trim 1/2"
off of the bed rail but I may build the wheel tubs a 1/4" below the top just for that extra travel if I need it.

Thanks Marz. I love the way that thing sits, or lays I should say.

I had said that the next pictures that I post would be of my truck being chopped but there was a local car show that I wanted to attend before I start cutting the roof so here are some pics of my truck going to the show. Today I will start removing all the glass and finish marking all the lines for the cuts. Tuesday I will start bracing the cab and start cutting out the back glass. Can't wait to get out of work and get started on the chop.
