    New wheels

    Probably right, steel wheels are what I'm gonna buy. What amount of backspacing would be required so I wouldn't have to grind the calipers down? 4.25"

    New wheels

    As far as I know Radial T/A's don't come in 16's. I've never done any towing with the truck it's just gonna be a weekend cruiser. I'd stick with my Turbines but 16.5's are next to impossible to find

    255/75 more than likely. It is stock height. What amount of backspacing would you suggest? If necessary i can always grind the calipers down a bit

    TBI to Carb Swap??

    Hey guys so I'm thinking of swapping my TBI motor out for a carb'd 350... I've asked this question before and I only got advice on switching intake manifolds n throwing a carb on it. So what I really need to know is how do I get a carb'd engine to run in the truck?? I know it's going to set off...

    Windshield wipers go on while truck is off!!

    Mine does this too sometimes.. the truck will be off, no key in the ignition, and the wipers will go off... Anyone else had this problem? What could it be? The wiper switch itself? Or the wiper motor maybe?

    thinkin bout a motor swap..

    Yeah Irishman i think im gonna yank the motor out. Seems way easier than just rolling the bearings in haha. How much do ya think a shop would charge to check the crankshaft out and everything?
