405/25/24 Amazing, I didn't even know they made tires that size.

I like the LS engines myself, at first the swap was intimidating, buts its not that bad.

Pirelli is the on maker of the 405/25/24, they've been making it for a few years. Google "drops r us" out of Houston and you'll see a bunch!

I m thinking to go with ls... but don t know wich one to take because i want torque not hp...
I thougt taking a 454 lsx from gmpp there is cubic inches
But it is not easy to take a decision a 572 or 502 bb is also sweet...

[rwade]

Personally I've had my fill of carbs, love the fuel injection. But I agree with the big block's being sweet! I've got a 6.0L with a cam probably be near the 500 mark on torque.

[3li9]

I found a few builders who can give me the torque i want... maybe i go with ls... it is reliable and good mpg... and light too... and it will match the all new features i will built in

[Bhelton]

I should have spent more money on mine for big wheels, Wade your truck is just plain NASTY!!!

[rwade]

Thank you Ben. I love the way your truck is coming along, looks great! We have some friends in high point, NC, next time we go ill have to see if I can check it out in person.

Take care, Wade

Wow! Just seeing this. As a younger guy who got into trucks during the mini truckin phase (thank goodness I'm over that), I'm now a little older and appreciate the amazing stylistic cues of these "factory looking" trucks slammed on some big wheels. The trim, body lines, etc., on these trucks are just pure genius! Constantly amazed.

Such a killer looking truck! One of my favorites on the board.

[rwade]

Thank you so much. About 20 years ago I use to shave all the chrome, now I love it! Guess taste change, but I'm glad I came around! LOL!

That's exactly the way I was. Glad I've "grown up" a little.

Wow! I have a long way to go killer truck

Also how to go about getting 24 on the rear with a metal bed

[rwade]

I love your truck! Love the color, is the bottom green? Factory color? As far as the 24's on the rear with a steel floor, you'll have to cut it and make a metal bridge cover or raise the whole thing. I think the first option would be way easier at the point your at.

Killer truck, didn't expect it to be that nice of a setup with that wheel size, you did an amazing job.

[rwade]

Thank you, I appreciate it

Wade

[mud.man.rj]

What..it is us who appreciate that you shared with us, just love the rear width and tuck of those wheels. Thanks again.

[69 blue coupe]

Yea the bottom is green, it's the factory color green plan on having it painted back original green and white. Dude I can't stop looking at your truck you've really inspired me thanks!

[big_al_71]

I just seen this thread for the first time and I am blown away as to how bad ass this truck is.

[rwade]
