Took a couple months off as Keith gets the new shop ready.
I have some new pics in the gallery. They are about the last 10 or 12 that show the latest progress on the bed. Keith is about to be finished with the new shop in Jonestown so the truck will be the first project in the new shop and it will now be only a couple miles from the lake house. I am beginning to work with Stockton Wheels www.stocktonwheel.com to build me some custom wheels. They are going to be replicas of the original wheels, smoothies, but they will be 18 inches tall by 7.5 inches wide. This will modernize them and let me put some real tall and narrow tires on it. I hope I can find whitewalls in this new dimension. If I can not find whitewalls in this size, I will have to rethink the 18 inch wheels. Looks like 235 /65 R18 might be the tallest I can get without getting too wide. These would be 9.3 inches wide on 8.5 inch wheels. These are Yokahama Miradas. They should come in at 30 inches tall. I still have more studying and phone calls to do.
