I have the heel type clamps marked "Mack". As far as the spacer there is plenty of space between the tires and no load. It is a hobby truck. I never noticed the difference in width until both spacers were laying side by side and then saw the size marked on along with the brand Firestone. I had noticed a little more thread sticking past the lug nut on the one side but it still tightens down without the spacer heel touching the spoke. Hoping for lot of ride improvement with the radials.

No, i think it was just messing with me!! Hasn't done it since. I put another 50+ miles on it today, so I'm up to 210 miles total and 110 on the new motor. Admittedly, I'm still a little gun shy about running it after the first time it blew up. I'm alert to every smell, noise and vibration, but so far all is OK. I'll make a video soon of a road test.

They do that just to show who is boss. How is the ride without the body?

This is a timely subject as I am almost finished changing from 10.00x20 tube type to 11r22.5 tubeless. I noticed the spacers on the duals are a different width, one is 4" and the other 3 5/8". Anybody got a 20" x 4" pie crust type for sale?  On the side with the 3 5/8" one there is more stud coming through. The wedges didn't bottom out but almost. Both sets of drives run nice and true at about 200 ft lbs torque.

But yes, the air tower also had a bell well, the air was pumping ding. Ding ding aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh good old days. Seems nowadays you can get everything you want  gas station except air ha ha. back then all you could get was cigarettes and soda.

Don't forget the "rubber" machine in the men's room.

I can't buy anything on Amazon. Can't remember my password. They won't reset it. Can't open a new account unless I get another email address, which I have no interest in doing.

I typically use partselect.com...last time I needed a part (agitator cogs for the washer) they suggested an app... https://www.fix.com/app/how-it-works  It seems be pretty handy. Enter in all of your appliance model #'s and serial #'s and it'll save them & give you access to parts, repair manuals & videos, and I guess it could double as a record of what you've got for insurance purposes. Pretty handy app once you've got everything entered in. Always sucks when the wife calls & says "the washer broke" and I can't do anything until I get home & look up the model number even if I have a pretty good idea what broke based on what she's telling me isn't working right. Anyway, rain quit...kids getting rambunxious. Time to get out of the car.

I had the same problem with Amazon a few years ago. I even tried calling on the phone and got nowhere. So I just look elsewhere and usually come up with as good or better deal. The other thing is I feel the same way about Bezo/Bozo.

As Electric Vehicles are being pushed down our throats, I was wishing I was a wealthy car manufacturer..   I would build an E.V. with a Battery that is easy to replace, then I would try to encourage other E.V. makers to do the same, with the same style/ shape/ and wired,  battery, .. Then I would propose to have battery shops like gas stations.  You would pull in, get a battery change and leave your battery to be re-charged right there at the battery station.. no different then exchanging the bottle for your gas grill. I know that safe storage is an issue, but, they can be out doors in charging vaults, just in case one goes up in flames.  I know this will help E.V. owners go further in the car, as well as convenient.. 

 anyway, just some silly thinking by me...  Jojo

Here is a short utube from 1943 that show swapping EV taxi battery packs for recharging. I don't know how to post the actual video but here is a link:  

Looks like a great place to escape after a tough day of whatever.

These tires were new in 2000 and have been 8500 miles starting in 2017. No sign of dry rot or damage. I'm in the process of switching to 11r 22.5 tubeless. $1200. or OBO. Located in VA. (the other steer is still on the truck)

Thanks for the great pictures. Now I don't feel so bad about not making it.

I’ve had good luck with this paint from Eastwoood. Good durability and lasts a long time.

Thanks for the info. I've got a can on it's way.

Beautiful! What did you use on the exhaust manifold?

Looks good. I like the way the pipes are tucked in. I'll be curious to watch the air cleaner conversion. I just cleaned and serviced my oil bath, what a PITA. Nice find on the keys.

It would also make a nice one for topping off swimming pools.

Damn! If you look hard enough you can see the air (lol).

Hope she gets better soon.

I took mine off a couple of months ago. I used an engine hoist with a strap to hold the fender in place while removing the bolts. Then raised it above the tire and moved it aside. You can pick the fender (with inner fender) up and move it around but it is awkward when trying to unbolt and hold in place.

l lucked out and found a set of six rims on FB marketplace for $45 each. I had to drive 150 miles but beats the shipping cost. Too bad they didn't have decent tires on them but then I'm pretty sure they were trailer rims.

I stopped in the local Service Tire Truck Center (multiple locations VA to NY) for a quote on 11r22.5s. They priced six Kelly 146k Armoursteel all positions @$356 each and install on bare wheel @ $25 each. Also gave a quote on Coopers four Work Series RHD H 1 drives @ $482 each and two  Work Series RHA H 1 steers @ $468. No price reductions in sight.

Looks like it hammered for $27,500.
