[quote=williamwilliam;7797373]I am currently running 215/70R15 BF Goodrich T/A's on the front and 275/60R15 T/A's on the rear, a little smaller height tire on the front to keep from rubbing, and a wider size tire so that it looks a little more "in-line" with the front. (You know what I mean, looks like its running sideways with the narrower factory rear end, so the 60R15 kinda helps it look straighter when your going down the road!)

My truck still sports the factory ford 8 inch wheels as well. I get compliments all the time about how good it sits, and how it looks riding down the road. I will take some pics this weekend of the undercarriage and post them in a new thread, probably sunday as I keep the truck in a climate controlled building and I will not be able to go back there until sunday because of my job.[/quote]

[quote=williamwilliam;7808602]Yes, they are original ford stamped 15X8 wheels, but you can also get 15X8 repos that look the exact same. I bought 3 inch wide trim rings that fit a 15 inch wheel. The dog dish hubcaps above, I think, are listed as 1974 ford hubcaps, which normally came on ford cars. I also run 1960 ford car hubcaps and I also run 1964 galaxy 330 spinner hubcaps which are the full 15 inch and covers the whole wheel. These 3 are my favorite ones to run on these ford trucks. You may can find them floating around on ebay from time to time as well.



Im gonna go tomorrow and take some pics of the suspension and post them sometime sunday evening/night. I know alot of people would like to see that who are interested in lowering their truck without air bags.[/quote]

[marvin2]

Looks great Merc!....my dad used to have a 'cuda that color.

Pearl...good job getting some updated pics on td's truck...nice to see that its still looking good.

[mike68merc]

Pearl - Looks like TD had some mechanical difficulties in one of those pics? ...Is that your truck behind him getting ready for a piggy-back ride?

Those steel rims has him looking like a Red Suede relative of the Pearl! Did he give up on the Torque Thrusts?


6T7Merc - Looks great! My Merc is also coming along....Slowly.
