Thanks for all the praise, I just really dig this burb. There was no way I was gonna convert from 8 lug, and give-in. To me there's just something really cool/sinister about a lowered truck rolling on 8 lug wheels.
JOEBOB.... I don't know for sure if "baby moons" will clear the rear axle sticking out or not. I just drove around to EVERY tire shop on my side of town until I found a place that had these steel wheels. Found a few later model 8 luggers, but the hub opening was too small for the early style 3/4 ton. 3 weeks ago when I wasn't looking for steel wheels, I found 3 sets on the Vegas Craigslist, but of course they were gone when I needed them.
A side note on that MONSTER fuel tank.... I got it down to an 1/8th and figured that was close enough for me to gauge. So I put 15 gal in it to see approx what it would get me. Well it was only 1/2 a tank
So needless to say if I fill this baby all the way to the top, I should get 100 miles out of the BIG BLOCK between fill-ups...
HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA
