Im not sure if they are 33s, honestly I bought the truck with them and didnt ask. Still in new condition becuse I hardly drive it. Ive driven the truck only once or twice a month since ive bought it so it should go to someone whos really going to drive it.

Sorry my next purchase is going to be a Motorcycle and a older classic -something before 1980.

Allan they are not 33s, big enough treads though to go off roading just about anywhere.

Totally,

Since we work out of the house, what ever I buy is not needed. All though it helps have a truck for occassional hauling. My wifes car is the daily- wish it wasnt a freaking wagon. She loves that car.

Dude, my first bike was a 1972 650 yamaha!

that picture brings back some memories of flying down the high way, acid washed jean jacket billowing about my skinny frame, mullet flying in the wind, smile on my face as I slowly lost my hearing due to no exhaust pipes....

Good, I am glad you are keeping it. It's a cool truck! :)

I wont ever get rid of the Pearly, too much love for an old beater. :)

If you get rid of it you will regret it in the years to come.

So... another build thread? :)

possibly a build thread.

On my lunch break I took it to Potranco Auto Repair and got a awesome quote to get the AC going again. That helped me want to keep it. I was affraid it was going to be a crazy amount. So that will be coming soon. Too hot hear not to have AC. All in all I figure for around 2k I can get everything in great mechanical order, fix up the interior dash and floors and have a good decent repaint with a couple coats of clear and rhino line the bed. Luckily I know people to help keep my cost down.

Man, for two large you can lift that bad boy a good six or seven inches... then you put more rubber between you and the dirt. I'm thinking 35s. New difs of course. That would probably be another two.

So four large and a few bills to fix the AC and you'd be ready for the next monster rally. Not bad for a cage. Not bad at all.

Of course you won't be very popular at the next tank move. :)
