Wtxj - I am feeling your pain on the tire issues. One of the challenges of keeping all of these old trucks here is that, even though the tread on most is great and they are in good shape otherwise, time and ozone are enemies and they do deteriorate even while resting. In the past few days I had been tuning a very unique 72 GMC and, when checking tire air, noted the sidewall checking on tires with excellent tread - it will have to have 6 new ones before it goes anywhere.
I am hoping that the tires on the 72 Chev we will ride to the gathering at Ed's place will be OK - tread is still fine, but they must be 10 years old. Oh well - we must find adventure somewhere.
