I just ordered a dual exhaust (bolt on) kit for my 77 highboy, and a set of wheels and tires. 2.25" dual exhaust from manifolds back. A pair of USA made turbo mufflers to go with the pipes. 4 of these, 16x8.5" with -6mm offset And 4 of these in a 35" tire 315/75R16 hankook dynapro M/T I'll update once I get this stuff bolted on. Then after I finish my roadrunner I'll come back to this truck this summer yet and post updates of the repaint and any other changes i do before the snow flies this fall.
Something clever here.

I think you'll like the Hankooks.

I've heard good things about the Hankooks as well.
I like the wheels Dave.

Please let us know about the Hankooks. My brother has 35s on his pick-up and hates them.

I like where you are headed with this one. My uncle bought an early 80's Ford 4x4 for a hunting truck and it was ugly as a dog. Painted the bumpers, stuffed in some 33's on fresh steel wheels, and it was ugly and mean, which is a gnarly combo.
Were I you, I'd put that new gear on the truck, paint that nasty back bumper, pull the goofy grill guard and bug shield, and let it roll. Should look tough.....
Now with even more aplomb

Jeeze, that's half the truck. I like those bug deflectors. I had to look pretty hard to find a period correct one for my 78 F-150. It was hard to find one that wasn't broke.

Actually the bug deflector is long gone lol! It had a crack in it anyways. I believe the hankooks were 261 each
