Any suggestions on where to get tires?

Maybe I`ll ride through town (if you`re in town) the next time I eat at the Red Bird.My good friend lives in Boonsboro and we hook up fairly often.
Tires?I haven`t had any call for "real truck" tires.I go to Eddies and Bob`s in Berkley Springs.Not sure how they are with bigger stuff.I have a friend who`s big on antique real trucks and talks to a lot of truck drivers.He`s a truck letterer/sign painter in Ellicott City.I`ll ask him.

I don`t know what`s out there.I`ll keep my eyes open.

I want it to look stock on the outside but with a modern drivetrain. I've been thinking maybe a duramax/allison. Currently it has a small straight 6 and I don't think I can live with that in it.

That would be great. Maybe we could meet up at Red Bird one weekend. I am still in the process of tranfering the title tags etc. Should have the truck in Keedysville in acouple weeks.

Hey Structures. Nice truck! Body looks straight except for the crease by the gas cap. Must be nice to have a lot of money and a lot of time. I can only come up with one or the other, never both. Being in Oklahoma must be nice. Just a little surface rust to deal with I assume.
