I am very pleased, and it gives me quite a bit more "gear" than the 7.50 16's did! Plus I don't have to deal with the "widow maker" rims any longer. Now I just need to finish the flatbed, and get it on there! | | | | | Joined: Aug 2007 Posts: 462 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Aug 2007 Posts: 462 | Looks good ,love to see the bed on it | | | | | Joined: Apr 2003 Posts: 940 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Apr 2003 Posts: 940 | Looks good. Did you have any clearance problems on the front?

I always thought the 16" wheels looked too small for a one ton. The 19.5's give it more of a "big truck" look (I think anyway), and having radials vs. bias ply is a big plus as well. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 873 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 873 | Looks good. What size 19.5's are you running? | | | | | Joined: Nov 2008 Posts: 153 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Nov 2008 Posts: 153 | Hey Ghostrider.......just noticed you are from Binghamton NY.....we are practically neighbors! I am running the 8R's in the back, and 225-70,s in front. Are you going to the Norwich car-show on Memorial week-end?

If I am not mistaken, any P30 that has 19.5 rims, would be a suitable donor. I won't lie.....I looked for a long time to find them, but they are out there. Look for old Frito Lay, etc. type box vans.....some had 16" rims, some had the elusive 19.5's. Thanks! and good luck! | | | | | Joined: Jun 2009 Posts: 7 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Jun 2009 Posts: 7 | Thank you for the info, not sure if we can find one around here, but another cool option fur sure!
Also did you keep the original rear end as well?
