    I'm pretty sure they stopped making them long ago. There was a time when them and Ground Hawgs were the only options out there for really oversized tires. I remember the Dick Cepek catalog. You could could get all those off road goodies in that one. My dad used to be like " If you had to pay for just one of those tires, you would never talk about them again ". Eventually, he was right as always. ? I'm pretty sure they got replaced by the Boggers and such simply because of superior design and chemical technology .

    Hey! Thats the same truck I drive every day. 2009 Sport. Who makes that one?
  3. Mike C.
    Great choice on the color. ?
  4. Mike C.
    That green looks nice! ?
  5. Mike C.
    Oh! The Boggers are from so real. I'll have to get a better picture.
  6. Mike C.
    Man! This is really looking good.

    Captain safety I meant to say.

    It's a little grainy, but that was the technology of the time. Caption safety I wasn't. ?

    I was thinking that same thing! ?

    Rattle can. I never did advance to the airbrush. I got them off of ebay many years ago and had forgotten that I had gotten so many sets. I found them in a poorly lit shelf on my bench (desk). I remember they looked to me like the old Monster Mudders from the 70s and had to have them. I used to hound my dad to put them on everything with 4 wheel drive we ever owned. He was like "are you crazy?" ? We had a cool spot where I grew up where people would all be 4 wheeling back in the woods and we would ride our motorcycles back there. Free ride era. I'll see if I can find a picture.

    I'm aware of that concept truck but from time to time you see where someone has put an earlier grill in a 2nd jen Bronco. I just like the look Of the '73 truck. My cousin bought one new back in '73. It was about the most heavy duty truck I had ever seen out of the factory. It was an F 250 a custom, no chrome rubber mating on the floor, big 4 speed sticking out of the floor all business. It even had that sealed knuckle Dana rear in the front. It was a beast of a truck. Only thing he put on it were Stewart Warner 2" oil presser and amps gauges. It was this really cool factory lime green color.

    I like them with the '73 grill. ?

    Now that I found these wheel/tire sets last night, I'm toying with ideas. I'm thinking metallic blue for the Ford, some kind of orange for the GMC. ?

    I remember getting them off of ebay. This was so long ago that I completely forgot that I bought so many sets. I can only remember seeing the Aoshima set on that 4 door Toyota Hilux recently. The really big Set is from the So Real '75 Blazer I posted a few weeks ago. I was thinking of saving them for a 1/18 project. Clean off your benches boys! You never know what you forgot you had. Especially when you get past 55. ?

    Can't wait for this one. I have my tires and wheels (thanks Casey) for the first one and since I found all these last night you can bet the 2nd one will get a set of the Aoshimas .

    Sorry about all the redundant photos, I think my phone has gone haywire. ?

    Last night while searching for one of the headers for the future1/16 Nomad project I'm amassing for, I found all of these. Off road tire/wheel sets that I completely forgot I bought many years ago. Now I have to find some projects to use them on. This morning I raced out to the Lobby (they still have 40 percent off model kits) and grabbed a Firestone F 150. I have some extra blue metallic that would look nice.

    I wish I could get my interiors to look that good. ?

    Last night I ordered 1 of those 1/16 AMT 1955 Chevy Nomad kits while there are still some left. The prices are already starting to climb and as with all these big scale kits will probably go into the stratosphere eventually. I already have just about every part waiting (dual quad chevy rat motor with headders, wheels, tire choices etc. in 1/18) to make it into a 60s-70s Saturday night cruiser with a slight gasser look to it. It should be a fun build.

    This one is really continuing to look incredible. Love that vinyl top and the redlines look perfect. Good stuff. ?
  23. Mike C.
    Still no answers. I'm thinking maybe I should repost the original thread and then I can fix my bad spelling.
  24. Mike C.
    I went back and looked. Welly makes these. I seem to remember the same one available in blue also.
  25. Mike C.
    Thanks Mike. I cant remember who makes these I'll have to go find the box and see. The wheels and tires it came with were pretty ugly and nobody makes a '65 in 1/18 so I got this one. I always liked the tailights on the '65 . Its funny It says SS on the box but it's missing the SS badging on the front fender. That's China for ya.
