It came with 26.8" tires stock. I have 225/65-16s on it now just because I had them sitting around. I'm hoping to at least fit 235/70s but that will be a stretch.a few 1/8" steel boxing plates added to the frame and you've got yourself a car chassis that's every bit as good as any 3/4 ton truck chassis.Well, i wouldn't say as good as, but I do plan to box the frame and add a K-frame or X-frame to it. This is the first build where I'm actually not concerned about adding weight.hell, an entire floater rear end out of a 3/4 ton truck might just slide under there with a little bit of fabrication.It does, and I did. 10.5" full floater with a posi and 3.21 gears.
That is so bad. I love it. Would love to see it in action. Wasn't there a lincoln convertible with powerstroke engine and hydraulics or something floating around? Not so much a tow vehicle, but badass anyway. I'm all for the idea of strengthening the frame of something like that and towing the airstream around. Cool and cool.
