    DEADMANSCURVE my first word : truck

    Fronts are #165SR15's
    Not much different from '65 oem 14's probably . Not that they handled that great . Not road racin' it . Straight blasts only .

    update :
    may'22 - dbl checked stuff etc over the winter . went to insurance and DMV tuesday .
    plates and insurance - check .
    well actually DMV was almost a nightmare . first one said the 1984 out of state title was no good because of no vehicle date on it ? would have to contact PA DMV to get a corrected title .
    that'll be last choice . went to different DMV - went right through fine ?
    quick 5-6 mile in town-outa town test drive yesterday - went pretty good . handling was fair even though it needs alignment . no tire shake even though they have never been balanced . kicked it in the fanny a couple times and it seemed pretty snotty actually . felt good starting about middle of first gear .
    only problem was i stopped to put a little fresh gas in it and car wouldn't restart . quick jump - fine . pulled battery out today and checked on the carquest tester - sez bad battery . hopefully thats all it is . volt gauge was reading in the 14 zone whole drive .
    temp was steady about 180 and oil pressure looked decent too . i did the motor so my comfort level there was being tested .
    trans shifted ok , no rear gear noise . actually a little quieter than i imagined , but nice sounding . wife commented that it was alot quieter than my truck !
    best part - got some pretty good "thumbs up " .

    TrunkMonkey Totally bananas

    Nice. :)

    Do you need front kick panels? (seeing the invisible ones in your first post a while back)

    I have a set of blue that have carpet stitched on them. (same color as your carpet)
    So, I replaced mine with a "regular set". If you want them I can send them to you for the cost of shipping.

    I'll send them, then tell you the shipping.
