Cool truck Ben. I like the smaller ones for this truck (never thought I'd suggest to someone to use "smaller" tires). The TruXus tires might look good with some fender cuttin'. And I gotta say...I've been buyin' the little Monster trucks by New Bright at my local $ Store solely for the wheels. I cut away everything but the outer rim. They are the basis for the wheels I make. But, for a toy, the wheels are pretty cool as is.

Your '41 is looking GOOD Ben! Like the looks of the steerable Dana 60 in the background also I also agree on the smaller wheels/tires, then the truck will kinda be like a newer "Orange Blossom"

Ben, my wife says the same thing. She thinks I'm buying toys...TOYS! I tell her these are hobby-related "must have" items...not toys. The nerve (LOL). In fact, the local $ stores just had them on clearance for $2.00. So the last store I visited had 8 on the shelf, so I told Cindy I "needed" all 8. So I bought. As soon as I get 'em home, I yank off the tires/wheels and discard the rest. Seems like a waste, but $2.00 for a set of off-road tires/wheels is real good to me.
