nice trucks, the 77 is sweet my fav body style plus with the stepside bed even better, would love to have a 70's f150 or bronco, and to be honest the 35's looked better in terms of a drivable vehicle, the 38's look good as a mud truck just look kinda strange since they barley fit, nothing wrong with them though, only thing with the pic with the 35's are the rear wheels really really wide the tire looks weird on there

Well its mainly a race Truck sees VERY few highway miles seeing as it burns 10 gallons in about 5 miles... and when im racing i burn almost a gallon to a 200 foot pass and seeing that the race gas is $7+ a gallon it gets expensive.. the truck only has a 2" lift on the front and cut the front fenders a little bit.. as far as barely fitting I race it in hill and hole pits and see easily 4 feet of air some nights and haven't got a fender yet... and on that pic with the 35's those are 35x16 boggers on a 14" wide wheel... Ill get a video up in a few minutes..

thats cool the fact that its a race truck makes the 38" make sense i was more meaning that the 35's seemed more practicle looking as a truck that was driven on the road more heck i was using the truck for the same things you do i would probably have it set up the same way
