Give me an outer diameter and I'll see what I've got. I've got several in-between sizes.

from what little i can find, theyre 8x20.5 i found a few possible candidates in the "5 gallon bucket of doom" where i keep most of my extra tires.

Click on the link to that picture, John. Here it is again just to be sure. http://www.riggsboys...om/66 n-600.htm

It's the third-to-last picture from the bottom. Nice red-and-maroon car with a tan top.

Some really neat trucks in that video.

The super-stubby terminal truck is very cool. As was the tanker with the Mercury badging.

If multiple wheelbases could be done, that would be very cool. One for a straight truck (think flat-bed sized....hint, hint,) and tractor-sized.

Jeff, what a great subject! This is definitely in my top 10 truck projects I'd like to tackle one of these days.

Please check your pm's...I think I may be able to help on the tire.

opening hood.

Not to hijack the thread

but these are what I think would be good

There were avail in the past but I talked to the caster and the mold is now bad with no intention to repair it at this time

I already have an RMR resin cab,,, bit it's only a 1/2 ton cab style

I have two of those Dodge conversion kits that were done by Tom Coolidge. If that's the ones that have the worn out mold, then there is another caster making their own version but I forget who. I thnk it might be the ModelHaus? I have to chack. I remember that it comes with the pickup bed. I am waiting for a friend to finish mastering those Snake and Mongoose hauler beds. I believe he's going to offer them as resin and plastic kits.
