I saw the feature on the Home Page and am truly honored. This is the best 'forum welcome' I have gotten this far. It will be very hard to beat haha...

As promised, here are more photos of the new rims/tires.
I also gave the headlights a good sanding and polishing (The $20 3m kit is much better than the $10 kit from Harbor Freight that I used…)
The last photo shows one of the bolts I needed to file down for the rims to fit on the front. I used a grinder and they came out pretty clean. There is still enough meat for removal though.

Now that's a nice truck. I wish mine ('93 4x4 extra cab green/tan) was that clean.

Keep a close eye on common rust spots, such as the frame right behind the front leafspring hanger. Its a hard to see area without removing the bed. The whole rear half seems to be a lot more susceptible to rust than the front half. Wouldn't want such a fine specimen rotting out!

Now that's much better wheels for a beautiful truck! Chromes will surely make her shine more.
