    Where to buy tires

    I would be good with either stock-sized or oversized tires. I have found a military surplus 30 minutes from my house that has 35x10.5x16.5 Good Year wrangler tires for $135 a piece. The tires were made in 2018 and have light tread use.

    I've gotten the inner beads with a wire wheel on an angle grinder, but that doesn't remove the material in small hard to reach areas of the bead.

    Starter mounting on a 350

    I found this picture on another forum that shows the problem that I am having. This makes the starter mount loose to the point that the gears were ground off the last time the truck was started.
