russian wheels
Believe it not I have them "coming out of my ears" !..the truck pictured I drove back from holland..broke it for the (exellent) low mileage engine and screemin turbo! 60 amp altrernator a whole host of other bits including winch/bumper and kit etc..you can probably see a load of ruski wheels and tyres in back of it! I bought the truck as chassis cab..bought a cheap bed right there (&fittedit!)..and filled it with about 5 tons of bits!! drove back ..I also know of a stack of zil131 wheels and tyres in a breakers (truck) yard over here. In fact 3 years ago in a clear out he offered me "U can ave' them over there" 4 £60 (quid) and when I went to the pile ..yes SIX NEW 1200x20 and 40 (yes forty) NEW 10.50x 16.5 s ALL 4 the £60 quids! I sold ONE set (5) for £450 and variouse lots since. the new 1200x20s are on my deuce (note adaptor plates I made?) It will drive at U.K. motorway civy truck speeds (and PASS em!) but I NEVER exeed 2000 RPMs. Viz, I KEEP it within it's braking capability!. On the fun side.. we were on a vehicle "cavalcade" at an airfield rally and followed a fella with a deuce who claimed to have the fastest deuce in U.K. well...YOU KNOW how it iz! I get allonside cab to cab...he,s waving and jeering (so is his crew)..THEN..I 'doodle' into 5 gear!!! and LEAVE him right there! ohhhh that felt SOO GOOD!!
