New Project

Well here is my new project. It just needs a new front clip, int., and lots of love. I plan on running 33-12.50-15 on 15x8 or 15x10 rims anybody else got pics of a similar tire size.
Thanks, Dennis

What engine you got, 305? Does it run? What did you pay for it? I know, that's a lot of questions, but inquiring minds want to know. Thanks.

It's got a 350 in it. I got it for free and it runs and drives. Got it home and put a battery on it and gas in it and fired right up damn the luck!

These are 33x12.5x15 on 15x10 or 15X8 rims...I'm not positive on which rim size but I'm positive on the tire size.



Nice looking project...looks like you'll have fun!!

EDIT: Ignore the rub marks on that front tire....a girl drives this truck :p

those look like 15x8 wheels. A 12.5 tire on a 10" wheel will have a straighter sidewall (not a whole lot of the bulge).

It will drive better on the street with that size tire on a 10 inch wide rim. For offroading a 8 inch rimm will help prevent rolling the bead. I'm having a hell of a time on my truck. I went 10's and I'm rolling beads with 22psi. On my old 8's I never rolled a bead even down as low as 12psi.


Chevychic is running 10's judging by the amount of rim you can see.

Here is my truck on 35x12.5 on 1 10 inch wide rim with 4 inches of back space.
Don't mind my wife. My kids are in the back seat if you look real close.

Its been holding up the toung of the camper for the last 2-5-3 months and haven't got to drive it. Need to get the tounge jack back on the camper this weekend so I can have my truck back. Need to get the hard top on it as well if I can round up some friends to help set it on the pig.
