Yeah, maybe not quite that bad but definitely not built to the caliber of the motor. It is very evident when you call around looking for a Cummins as most wrecking yards will have at least a couple compared to when you call around looking for a Powersmoke, you will call many that have none. Cummins outlast the Dodge they come in and Fords outlasts the powersmoke that comes in them.

I picked them because I could put them on my "old man" wheels--really. I have a set of aluminum wheels here that are wide--33x12.50s look right on them, but I have really grown to like the stock wheels and hubcaps.

Thanks. I bought them some time ago, but I do not remember where. Probably off of some internet site that has a classified section.
