Very beat up, corroded PYOs I have renamed PY'ucks. Haven't given a half-assed try at finding the right center caps yet. The tires are the correct 245/75r16 size, but not the right load rating. It barks second gear with these, lol. I think I'm going to snag a set of the Furd 16×7 steelies and paint 'em white and put some 265/75r16 tires on them. That's the size tire in all the rest of my pics. I think that's a better size.

I went with 265’s on mine and I’ll never go back to 245’s lol

Yeah, I agree. 265's are what's on the furd wheels in most of the pictures of my truck. I think it should have been the stock tire size on all 400s. Much better.

I'm not as "nutty" as I used to be. You get into your 40's and Mother Nature and Father Time whip your ass and send you to bed early. For my 48th birthday I got left shoulder, neck, and left hip arthritis as presents. I'll be a "50th Anniversary Edition" this August. But instead of performance upgrades, I'll probably just be a stickers and emblems package, Lol!

Bah! Young 'uns!

I think I'm going to take my bed off at home, drive to the donor truck (~10 minutes away), swap the "new" bed on, and take it to a buddy I JUST reunited with. He does bodywork at his house and is conveniently located about halfway between the donor truck and my house. I could probably get some "on the job" training and learn bodywork on my own junk! -Or leave that to him and I'll see what needs replaced/cleaned up/painted on the chassis while the bed and bumper are off.

Look at these for tires. When I run out of junk tires I'm putting these on Frank for the front.

You could get some Autozone wheel covers to hide the Ferd wheels.

I'm not usually a raised white letter kinda guy but I plan on white steelies until the time comes when I can paint the truck.

The "Peanut" tread pattern always unsettled me a bit. I don't like the BFG all terrains for the same reason.
I know, I'm weird, you'll get used to it!

I understand. I just think the tire itself has more of the old school squared off look that makes it seem wider than it is. Another plus for me is that they're 'murican made. Impossible to be extreme in your patriotism on American vehicles these days, but when I am thinking about something (like tires) and what catches my eye happens to also be made here, I'm in!
