Thanks everyone.... never thought you'd be able to get that kind of tire/wheel combo under a C10. Guess I'm just used to the "always a hassle" with wheels/tires on cars.

I'll be on the look out for 12 - 14" rims ..... need 5" bolt pattern .... which will make it a bit hard to find for most used wheels are from "cars" (4 3/4") but then looking is 1/2 the fun of going to "swap meets" anyway. If worse comes worse I'll just buy "new ones" if I have to.

It's a beautiful day here in Pittsburgh.... upper 70's .... finally.... it's been a LONG Winter. Hooking up my "new compressor in the workshop.... thanks again.
