What do ya plan on for it?

 

[O'Rattlecan]

It's gotta be hard to put any serious miles on the thing on the island! No offense but it has to be frustrating trying to break in a motor without freeways like we have here.

I had that size tire on the rear of my 65 F100. It really helped it in the corners. (as much as you can help a pick em up truck.)

Looks great.
