Thanks . That lower pic gives one the scale showing how large these 7.50 x 17 tires are. I held back on painting the engine and frame this time. It is hard to know where to stop. My mission here is to marry a pretty decent engine-less truck with a good running engine. They both arrived here in two different trading deals and deserved to be put together. Not exactly sure what the future holds for this truck, but it will be a functional vehicle in a couple of months. One thing I will need to source is the six cyl type of accelerator pedal and likkage. I think the rod to the carb pushes instead of pulling to increase speed.
