I picked up the rims earlier in the month, sanded the machined face smooth, removing the corrosion of salt and neglect, then polished them up. I didn't work on the black areas, as I plan on having the blasted over the Winter so I can re-paint the black.
I also picked up a set of Falken WildPeak M/T in 33X11.5 last week, putting serious meats on all four corners. The truck rides smoother and handles better than with the pizza cutters, but those are my winter tires on steel rims, and these are my summer tires.
Fuel mileage sucks with these, but they weren't put on to save gas...
I had to put the truck body on hold so I could help my younger brother with a home project, but will continue on it soon. The cab will be coming off next, so I can work on the cab and frame, getting it cleaned up and painted to match the rest. When all is done, it will likely be sprayed complete to cover a few of my early holidays...just need to find a clean enough place to do it, and not in my small garage.
