As you know I now have chrome bumpers on my AD truck. After seeing this pic I ordered bumper guards. (powell72 is my son and spiritual advisor).

Fronts are 235/70 and rear is 255/70. Wheels are 15s, wider in the back. My truck isn't stock height. I lowered it 2" in the front and 4" in the back. Radial TAs range from $125-$160 a tire around here. You can find a cheaper tire and get a similar look.

Awesome looking pickup. I have a 67 that will look similar when done. Amazing what a simple paint scheme can look like when well done!
