He is a cheapass redneck and I am positive that didn't even cross his mind. In fact, I am sure he drove that truck for the four years he owned it with those same tyres on it!

My luck the tires would have blown out as soon as they hit pavement.

i would at least try driving on the tires as long as they hold air. whats the worst that can happen? you blow a tire. at least the tires should not be cracked from sitting flat.

That isn't stock. But that is where everyone puts them, perfect place for it!

Depends on what options the truck has.
Granted, if it has a brand name on it, it ain't stock. lol


But that's why Dodge did the dash the way they did it in 72, so you could put extra gauges in the wings of it.

I never remember one stock tach that had the SUN name on it. All my 1960s Chevelles that had the factory tach looked like a stock part, I can't remember if they had the manufacturers name on them. If so they were probably Delcos.

That's why I said "granted, if it has a brand name on it it likely isn't stock."

But it IS in a place where Dodge would put tachs.
