Rear Wheels

Today I had about a half a day where I could work on the truck but I got a little sidetracked. I have been repainting the brake calipers during the week so I went ahead and mounted them without the pads. I also wanted to mount the brakeline tabs which is why I mounted them/ calipers but I ran out of time on the tabs.

I did have time enough to mount the rear tires to see how they fit and looked. I had to adjust the panhard bar a bit but they cleared everything. The RH rear fender looks like it needs to come out some more (by slotting some holes) to even out the gaps but everything else looked real good. I'm going to wait until I get the front sheetmetal back on to mount the front tires.
