Wheels and tires are already driving me crazy. I've read every wheel post and FAQ on here and still confused about what I have and what is out there. I know for sure that my wheels are 20" 10 lugs. After that it gets foggy - I'm not sure yet if they are split rim or not, 7.25 or 8.75 bolt spacing, 4.75 or 5.5 center. I can find out when I get to the truck obviously but really wanted to have wheels and tires lined up.
I've seen a few people mention that WheelsNow sells aftermarket options. I talked to them and they can have a new set shipped out and delivered by Friday. But... the spec sheet someone posted on here of their WheelsNow order shows 7.50 bolt spacing. WheelsNow says that they only sell the wheel in 8.25 spacing, and that is definitely what the truck has. I'm hesitant to drop big money on wheels without verifying that they are correct so I'm trying to get someone out to the farm to measure for me. Plan B is to take the split rims in to a truck/tractor tire place that has the correct size tires and hope they will mount on the split rims.
I couldn't find a carb rebuild kit that could be there in time so I ordered a whole new carburetor.
The only place that remanufactures water pumps is shut down for Covid-19 so I have not been able to find one, which is a bummer. It works now but I would really have liked to replace it or have a spare.
I ordered a fuel pump from Napa but the box they sent had the wrong pump inside so I'm picking that up tomorrow.
Spark plugs, wires, distributor are all fairly new so I'm leaving those alone. Picking up a new generator tomorrow to bring with me on the flight.
Other than that I'm just planning on maintenance type stuff and wiring up some tail lights....
