new shoes and a raise
 

after 5 weeks of Fridays and Saturdays I finally got my favorite '71 road worthy after sitting in my back field for 6 years. This included a Tuff Country 2" lift kit with 3" springs in back, BFG mud-terrain 33x10.50x15's on powder coated 6" wheels and stock hubcaps. I also completely rebuilt and/or refurbished the clutch linkage and replaced all the rotted firewall grommets and seals and rebuilt the heater core box. No more unwanted stinky hot air thru the firewall! I also installed Inline Tube stainless extended brake hoses. Here are some of the before and afters.

Re: new shoes and a raise
 

That is very nice. I am building one that will have the same lift and tires/wheel combo. I am very jealous. I also dig the med bronz.

Re: new shoes and a raise
 

I was lucky to find a tire shop that would put those tires on those skinny wheels. Alot of places wouldn't do it.

Re: new shoes and a raise
 

those wheels make the truck! Awesome choice, you just can't beat steelies and stock caps on a 4x4 (ok, on ANYthing :))
