The Stovebolt Site Forums The Parking Lot Big Bolts spindles, wheels, and tires

I mean i could probably just say [censored] on it and buy new tires and just drive it. the only thing that i see is that i really have no need for a 1.5 ton truck. But the whole darn thing is kind of sentimental to me. i learned to drive on that exact truck. when my dad bought 20 years ago it had been sitting in a mechanics lot for years with a brand new 235 sitting in it. we used to haul around 250 bushels of corn for quite a while. years later my grandfather acquired it and gave it back to me about a year before he died. I do remember the thing running about 60 mph a few times empty but that was pretty wound up. My major thought was what if i converted it to newer 3/4 ton to 1/ton running gear and run it would that make it drive down the road a little easier. I have even thought about converting to 4wd. just cant seem to find a lot of info on that either.
