Make sure you get the 22.5's for it.

I've actually got a set of 19.5s for it in my garage. I went to look for a tire and really couldn't find one that I liked. I looked at 22.5s and it's the same story. I'll probably end up going with either 20s or 22s and a 37-40" tire.

I thought about it, but I just ended up painting it alpine green. I've seen one fully polished though, it is pretty sweet. Ill see if I can't find a picture of it.

If I was gonna have a Detroit in mine, I would have it the same color, but a polished aluminium engine block would be pretty slick

Here's a picture of the polished block that the guy was doing. I believe he was trying to work 92 series cylinder sleeves and pistons in it effectively making it a 4-92.

Yeah, the green will be a lot easier to keep looking good, polished would be very labor intensive on anything but a show-only truck.Looks good though,either way.

A 4-92 would be insane.
