i was in maryland 2 weeks ago. i went to move my aunt back up here. i had moved her down 5-6 years ago. the 1st time down i saw a old set of gummbo mudders on slot mags. he said sorry not for sale. i plan on getting another truck someday and installing them on it.

well this time he had moved/sold house/married and she wants stuff cleaned up at new house. so i ask his dad he said i will ask him that night. well i wake up sat morning and he said come and get them for FREE :eek1:

well i did a 30 min drive each way and here is what i got.

35x14x16.5 gummbo monster mudders around 25-30 years old :doah:1/2 tread still. thay are on western wheel 5 slot mags 9.75 wide version. thay just need a little clean up time.

today i got out the acid wash and brass wire brush. spent 30 min soak time & scrubing. this is before and after shots. and there is no real damage at all i can see on any of them. :D not even dry rot in the rubber.

Nice score, but do not trust those tires on pavement, esp. wet roads. They may not be dry rotted, but theyve lost their adhesion properties. I wrecked a mustang with "good" but old tires. The rubber had hardened up and there was no way to put heat into the tires (tires heat up on the street to help with grip.)
 
well got them on the truck today. look good . road bad :( but that was to be expected of them that old and bias. death wobble bad from them and 50-up just shook bad. would make someone good offroad mud tires but not street use.

Keep the rims, ditch the tires, buy new replacement rubbers instead.
