Jarhead Enterprises Posted September 29, 2020 Author Share Posted September 29, 2020 We changed out the drive tires not long after this picture was taken - you are right all "tube" tires with 2 piece rims. I had a lot of tire changing experience in the USMC so it was not big deal - got them all changed out in one Saturday.

james j neiweem Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 Beautiful L dump. That's what the B-81 should have looked like. They should have offered the L cab a lot longer.' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know some on here have said that before, I must be missing something as I dont really notice any difference in the look That said we all have our own likes and dislikes so Im not judging at all, just a observation Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Mark T Posted October 2, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 2, 2020 Some guys never had the pleasure of seeing bald bias ply tires (rags) let alone a nice worn out one with the wear spot where the actual plys could be seen in a feathered oval (lol) !!! this look was often augmented by rims with a old lug nuts welded on each side of the the valve stem hole !!! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freightrain Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 The old ribbed, square shouldered bias ply is just has a "timeless" look to it. Something a more modern radial just doesn't have. For many it doesn't matter, for others an old truck just doesn't look right with radials on it. 2 Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................
