Re: 1958 Apache 38 Dually Dump Project
Been looking at different tire options in prep for going 4X, the wheels are narrow at 6", and we didn't want to run spacers on the rear...so, a 245/70-19.5 (about 33.5") is about as much as you can run.
We dug through a local truck repair shop's resale tire pile and dug out 6 of the best M/S recaps we could find. We were able to find some with nearly new treads for cheap.
Got the rears on, but am struggling a bit with putting them on the front. I'd like to believe that recapping has come along way and this truck won't see a lot of highway miles...but, there's good reason recaps aren't allowed on big rig/rv fronts. I "think" they're legal on lighter weight rigs?? I did keep the two practically "new" ones set aside for the front. We'll probably put them on and see what happens.
