18" Preditors w/ 275/70/18 Continental PICS.
Well it was a PAIN but I finaly got it done. I needed new tires but didnt want to spend $800 for new tires to put on rusty stock rims. So my cousin took the new stock tires off his 08' F350 4x4 and gave them to me. That was really a help because that allowed me to buy rims instead. In all it ran me $780 for rims, tires, mounted and ballanced. Better than the $800 for new rubber on rusty stockers.
Once the wheels were on they rubbed the front fenders bad, so I bought some Moog 7226S springs last night and put them on this morning. Now it rides like a truck and the front is about 2" higher. In all worth the 2 hour install and $175 for the springs.
Sorry for the crapy pics, I didnt feel like moving the other vehicles to get better pics. lol
Passanger rear:
Passanger front, its facing down hill so it looks lower:
Driver Front, I welded the molding holes and straitened out the fender. Still alot of body work to go.
Front view, glad the old grill gaurd is gone.
These tires are 33.4" tall too but the speedo is dead on.

Dude, your truck is a beautiful example of a good ole first gen. primer spots, big honkin dents,dead paint,and it leaves sweat stains in your driveway 
all in all i love it
BTW our 93 had a dent in the EXACT spot and we took the air box out and got a 4x4 block and big honkin hammer and got most of that ugly dent out. That dent is from the grille guard wasnt it? our 93 had a grille guard bumper on it too and it was dented in that EXACT spot on both sides from the bumper ends coming around and hittin the fenders, probably why it was cut off.

Its just a one piece chrome grill, no inserts.
Those spots are from the vacume pump, while running it doesnt leak, but when you kill it it will leave a quarter size spot every time. One of these days I'll get to that one but right now I'm trying to chase all the other leaks. lol Right when I fix one another springs up.
