I kind of figured it was a pre-RapidTransit car, was it as straight as it looks? By the way I like the bird bath style hood with the intercooled grill on the wedge.

 

Bought and sold a few GSA items last week, so I took the opportunity of a borrowed trailer to shuffle some vehicles around as well.

My buddies soon to be offroad only Jeep




Nice M1028




Nice 87 D250, bought for parts, but after cleaning it up we realized it was too good for parts alone.




My buddies W150 I did a brake job and bearing service on

 

i really like the way those tires look on your truck luke

 

Thanks, I'm pretty happy with them. My ride improved as well due to the larger sidewalls.

 

no they are not recaps, they are mud claws. my parents bought them for me as a grad gift.

 

I second that! What size are they, and did you need any spacers between them on the duals?

 

It is a very decent car for the age and the area it came from, Michigan.
Not much rust, pretty straight overall.

The Hauler's hood took a LOT of cutting out of the under-structure to get it to clear the Intercooled radiator.
if the truck didn't already look like a hack job, it'd be embarassing.

Dzl Damon.......what make and size are those tires?.....they look great on that dually.... What part of Maine are you?...I got a camp over in Sweden/Bridgton area..

 

Tires are BFG Mud Terrain KM2's. 255/85/16. It's only a 33" tire, but it looks quite a bit larger than the 235/85/16 s (31.7") I took off probably due to the side treads, etc.

No rubbing, even with my steering box off one spline on the pitman arm.... man I can turn left REAL well

I'm told that some W350's had 5.300" backspacing on the rims that CAME with 235/85/16's from the factory. The ones that have 215/85/16's like mine I believe only have 5.000" backspacing (so more than 1/2" less space between the duals). I used a cheapy charlie aluminum 1/2" spacer between the duals and torqued them down 5 or 6 times. I see the aluminum is slightly warped between the coins . Oh well, I read on spacers you need at least 4 or 5 full turns on the lugs, and I have 7 or 8 on there. The rears really seem to be hub centric since they are so tight to get on and off? Anyway, I will buy some nice steel ones eventually with the studs allready in them someday, but now I can think of better things to spend $400 on!
