Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II

Sliced open a corrugated carton the big brown truck left on my front porch yesterday.



Did a mock up test fit of her new hub covers.



Confirmed what I pretty much already knew, She needs longer wheel studs.



I do like the sparkle bling thing the Alcoa's bring to the big girl. Now to score some Hug-A-Lug nut covers.



Next Up???

Dump the motorhome subframe, ditch the temporary rear fenders, fab up a couple frame filler boards and drop that stake bed down 3-1/4". Then it's on to proper stake sides, scrounging up some new LT235/85/16 Transforce AT's, mirror polishing them wheels and mounting 'em all up more permanent like.

Then I'll have to find something heavy to haul so I can "shake down" the Alcoa's and keep on truckin'

As the journey continues...
