I bought my truck from the original owner back in 05', sold it, then bought it back. The speed warning/air gauge was added recently. The warn "orange" hubs were dealer installed and on the purchase agreement.
Great story! I have five white freshly powder coated OEM 16.5 x 8.25 wheels with new 33" BFG ATs ready to go. These aren't on the chassis yet. Tire choices in the 16.5" wheel are very limited now - no more 10" widths

Jud that's a really solid original set I was fortunate to find. The retainers did not suffer flaking chrome from being overtightened. If it would help, I can recommend a chrome shop that does good work at a very reasonable price. They did my bumpers. I'll get pics of the 700R4 for you this week when I drop off the battery tray and a manual throttle set up.
