I don't have a lot of parts, but I'll help with what I can. And I've been needing a 16.5 so this works perfect.

Yeah, I was going to trade him a couple 16" steel wheels for them, but I knew you needed a spare wheel, and it would be quicker for him to get a 16" wheel from you, than from me, so I told him to ask you.

I have a couple extra 16.5 wheels if anyone needs some. They are the wider ones too.
Don't want wide, want safety bead.

You see, I have a lot to learn. I did not know that some of them came with or without safety beads. I assumed they all didn't. I will have to double check those wheels out. Maybe they aren't the wide ones.
I know the wheel I use as my spare does not have a safety bead. And I thought it was a skinny one...
Some of the skinny ones have safety beads, some don't.
I've never seen a wide one with a safety bead.

After a half day dicking with wheels and tires, it's time to start on the front.
Those tires look good on there!

What a crap day. Torch ran out and my wife is sick. Done for the day, only got the diff down.
At least there's some progress.
You got more done in a couple days than some. Get done in a couple months

50% better of a day. Won't have a leaf spring bushing until morning, but I bolted the rest up anyways. Prob will regret it tomorrow, but f it. Need to do brake hoses, all new u joints up front, and lastly both drive shafts need lengthened. Shot now so I'm pushing it out of the way. Time to mow.
That is very good looking. All these crusty long beds remind me of my first truck.
Looking good, and familiar!

It sits well, compared to before, not compared to yours though. I know yours is quite a bit taller yet. Still happy though.
