I’d be interested in seeing someone’s build if they did this. Curious if you could keep that big long radiator somehow. The standard size would seem to be enough for civilian use as the H1 were turbos and heavier. I think they used the same one in the alpha with enough cooling too.
Do you know about the ones that are sub 258xxx? Some are 250xxx and saw one that’s 249xxx. They are 1165s but I thought the ECV all started at 258xxx so maybe there’s slight differences?
Similar one next week. 250xxx vin and missing engine parts like that last one.

I’m a novice, but the value of these trucks seems all over the map. I haven’t noticed much of a pattern as to why yet. I’m guessing that one above went so low bc of the VIN? This one seemed in way worse shape, started at 1500, but went higher:

What’s the differences with some of the ECV models that are pre 258xxx serial range. ????
like this 1165 which went fairly cheap. It’s a 250xxx. https://www.govplanet.com/jsp/s/item/3534078
So help me out:
a 9” wide wheel with 6mm offset would have roughly a 4.75” backspacing?
a 9.5” wide wheel with 6mm offset would have roughly a 5”” backspacing?
And a 9.5” wide wheel with 12mm offset would have roughly a 5.5” backspacing?
none seem that close to stock really.
Yea So offset on the stock rim is what +50?!
When looking for aftermarket wheels is it best to try and keep a 7” backspacing or 50 offset!?
ps Rimzoneonline.com has a great search feature for finding wheels with varies offsets and sizes

Non runner but seemed mostly complete. Seemed like a Good price to me, but I’m hoping there will be one on the east coast soon.
Huh. got any pics of them both? I thought you needed something like -50 to stay close to stock. 7” of backspacing.
found this deal online tho, seems like a real low price. Anyone heard of these tires before?
I’ve read a lot of contradicting opinions on the stock 2 piece wheels. Some say they ride terrible others they are fine. What gives? If they are balanced why wouldn’t they ride smooth?
they definitely limit tire options. I am interested in 40s and can only find one tire that a 16.5”...
What about pouring in a bunch of plasti-dip or flex seal rubber and making your own ?
I think both would peal off on their own but somecooking spraymight help or even laying down cling wrap first
