No work on the wheel tubs. The new tires came in for the front so I took all 6 wheels off of the truck and took them down to the local body/tire shop to have the new front tires installed and all six of them balanced. That made short work of 4 $100 bills. Now I can call the alignment shop and see when I can get it in there. He is usually a couple of weeks out but we will see.

I ordered new springs for the front through O'Reilly's. I ordered them for an '82 1 ton Scotsdale truck. By my research it looks like it should raise the front about 2". I'm keeping my fingers crossed on that. It may be a while before I get them installed but I will report back on it when I do.
