Beautiful truck. What size tires? Oh and what seats are those out of? They look plush.

Tires are 3x10.50 15 super swampers & the seats are out of a minivan ( Chrysler) Thank you for the kind words,  it’s in fantastic condition, I’ve got the thing tore apart right now adding Spartan lockers front & rear, add a leafs up front,  adding aftermarket heater and having the seats done in red & black leather , then stereo and speakers .... it’s a money pit lol

For some reason they look bigger to me. Whatever they are, they look good on there.

Sorry yeah 31” Super Swampers & Thank you very much. It’s got a 3” lift but the springs have all settled quite a bit so it makes them look bigger than 31’s

what are the specs on your cam??
unless you plan to run at 6500 rpm constantly (like a circle track racer) triple valve springs are just going to cause more friction.

1600 clutch??  not ceramic I hope?

I’m not positive on the cam specs. The former owner was a machinist and had Lunati custom grind the cam & he set up the head and custom ground the larger valves & ported the head. No it’s not ceramic

I see you have plans for fuel tank. Do you want the correct fuel tank rather than something in your bed?

I don’t know for sure yet, I have a new fuel cell here but I hate giving up precious bed space, I may build a square tubing frame and mount this fuel cell under the bed...... ?
