did a little rural scouting on a bed a friend spotted in a field. its a 47-53 shortbed, good eye. this was also behind the barn/workshop. picture taken from the road but I am reasonably certain its a 36 ford truck. methinks its worth an ask.

I am going to trim the blower so that it mounts closer to the fresh air inlet in case thats something I want to do in the future.

tires came in, no wheels yet, maybe this week! they said 2 weeks and its been two weeks. the sizes arent as impressive in pictures, but these things are some healthy rollers, I went with a 245/40 on the front and a 275/40 on the rear, to give me a little sidewall. I could have gone shorter but without bags small tires look like small tires. this will give a nice ride and plenty of sidewall (3.25" on the front!).

went with an all season tire instead of a hyper performance tire.
we also found a property with an existing 30x50 shop, so if I am scarce again that might be the reason. lots of hoops to jump.
