oh idk lol they would probly be only good for rollers.i know that one of them is tubed for sure. it has a split in it and has a tread from another tire bolted on the in side and has a tube. they are all defiantly to the wear marks. i dont want you thinkin there something better than they are lol. i need a radiator for this truck. if u have an extra radiator and electric fan laying around maybe we could trade?

i seen that tire on the old ford they had at the tire shop, BOLTED a piece of an old tire on the inside to hold the rip together!

so we ran out to big al's today and check out some tires.. they measure about 42's im gonna go get them this weekend he has to weld in some new centers for me. i cant wait to get those new axles in and the tires on. has anyone made there own driveshaft? any tips i think that i am gonna have to lengthin the one i have. i heard some people put sand in them. is that to help keep it balanced?

you could cut and weld ur old ones, biggest thing is keeping everything straight, use a chop saw to make a nice straight cut, tac weld then recheck by spining the shaft, ive heard of people making a jig to hold it all straight, i wouldnt worry bout vibrations if its only a mud truck, or go to tsc and buy there tractor shafts, they have some square stock shafts, yokes, and u joints

dfm_13 · January 28, 2011, 04:55:57 PM

yea ill def check out tsc. and no im not worried about vibs thanks,
