Thanks Ed. I found a local shop that was able to do the mounting and got two 8.25x20 Sumitomos (apparently the last two in the state) for the front. I've read Grigg's threads back to front at least three times. The spindle swap is based upon also swapping from a 1.5- to a 2-ton axle, which is akin to trying to find a needle in a stack of rare and widely dispersed needles.
Actually got to drive it down the driveway and back last night. I installed a trailer hitch and found the truck was now too long for the garage door to shut, and it was up on blocks. Oops! Fortunately the shop got the tires done quickly so I could move it.
Interior has been stripped out ( found a mouse nest above the old cardboard headliner ) . Looking for someone local to sew a new leather cover for the seat; i don't really want to go back to vinyl.
