Well not to much going on lately. About the only thing so far are new shoes...
I pickup some steel Taco rims for about 100.00 and then a set of 265/75R/16 Treadwright Guard Dogs M/T (E) with the Kedge grip. After the retread they work out to be about 33x10.5 which is nice. The weight of the 10 ply is a bit much though. I'm thinking each wheel is about 80lbs mounted.
For balancing I used 2000 airsoft pellets in each tire. Works great! have not had any issues with them at all. Every once in a while I get a wiggle and with a tap of the brake it's gone!
I put these on in Oct and ran great this winter!!!
Also just ordered a set of coil springs for the rear. 5"x13"x150lbs Hope to have them for next weekend. Start of another thread!

Frame is swiss cheese and the front spring hanger pulled out of the frame. Time to part her out. Have a 94 though with a bad motor so parts of her will live on!!!

Had not seen you on in a while. To bad to hear about having to part it but I parted two trucks due to rusted frame. Just not worth the chance of it falling apart while driving it. You already know the condition of the motor and other things so that will make your next build that much easier. Welcome back!!!

Been absent for a bit...The motor lives on with a Street RV head and 261 cam. The 94 has some issues still and I'll be starting a new thread on this one soon. Didn't want to do a full engine swap but needed to after I had the 94 torn down and #4 had a burn ring and score. The rust belt here in PA really took a number on the 92, frame too far gone to patch up.
