Mixing tire types is a bad idea. You would probably end up with squirrelly handling on the highway. Plus, it would be almost impossible to match diameters. Switching to radials is an all or nothing proposition.

I see Doghead has taken to using the "beating a dead horse" emoticon instead of telling you to use the search function.;-) So, let me say please use the search function, this has been covered before and yes, there are solutions. You might also want to consider replacing the start push button...

:funny:I would love to be a cop and spot that abomination going down the road!

Try a coffee can filled with moth balls. Poke or drill lots of holes in the plastic lid. Put this somewhere like under the passenger seat. The critters don't seem to like this smell. If the smell is too strong for you, take out the can before driving and replace it when putting the vehicle...

Colin sent his son out to walk the dog, then shot his wife and then himself. See my earlier post, #88.

:ditto:...and welcome to the site!

The stock rim is a two piece unit and is not air tight. You would be better off using a tube and a flap with a tubeless tire - it can be done. Another possibility is finding a modern one piece 20 inch wheel with the same bolt pattern and offset. Good luck!

I thought this was going to be a sad story by the thread title. You are right to be proactive to think about this before you bring your truck home - a lot of people don't. Maybe there is an affordable RV storage place nearby. This works out for a lot of people. Good luck.

Now that's funny!

Plus, the wheels are the same as the duals in the rear. That means you can move the wheels anywhere on the truck, and the spare tire goes on anywhere.

The old trick was to wipe down the window with vinegar.

We're getting off track here, but gas as a weapon was outlawed by the Geneva Convention (or was is the League of Nations) around 1920 specifically because of its devastating effects.

I also wonder if these are DOT approved for highway use. In a yard or on your own property, they're probably OK.

Wow, your cab looked like it came from the bottom of Truk Lagoon. Thanks for sharing the progess photos.

MMMMM...Bacon!

Sounds like a job for a GOER. I would help if I were closer. Good luck.

Good to know. Where was that picture taken? Thanks.

How did the trailer handle on the higway and on curves? Did you hit any cross winds? I only ask because the set up looks a little top heavy to me, but that depends on where the actual center of gravity is.

Heater core for sure. I was riding as a passenger in a Triumph TR-6 years ago when the heater core started leaking and dripping hot green antifreeze on my feet.

Yes, you could tow the chassis with just the inner rear tires mounted.
