Just curious... Why the mud tires out back? I go fishing/hunting as well as daily driving it street duty. I fish in Lachoochee Fl on the Withlachoochee River in the Whithlachoochee State Forest. all dirt roads and boat ramps. ride the main grade and loops in Richloam/Green Swamp and when it is rain season it is one long mud strip to play on. plus they wear a long time pulling street duty and bark real loud on pavement when scratchinfotraction! I had a nv4500 5 speed granny 1st/od5th with this 3.55 locker/SSM lift bars which made it a slow brute & fast highway flyer. first was the complete re-wire of the truck to a nice 86 uncut/burnt/spliced engine/dash/chassis harness. now it is back to new CRT-TF-2 VB/727 auto E-body 8 3/4 coming soon are the 275/60/15 88-360 head 318 4v police engine converted to a whiplash roller cam ready for this summers down time. new doors and paint for Christmas if I am a good boy.

Just say NO to black wheels and RWL showing. John, so its both? Black rims AND RWL as a combo or NO to each all together? blackwall out? I did white 8 spoke last 2 times and can't stand them. blackwall or RWL even with a chrome trim ring. tired of polishing alum rims. maybe I can change your opinion with more of my idea of the whole picture maybe not. still a NO Even with 2013 dodge dart r/t citrus peel pearl paint I picked up yesterday? will be running a Black wall M/T Sportsman SR radial front and rear. with E-body 8 3/4 pulling them in an inch from the fender lip as opposed to mud tires tight against it now. Green and black = with hood/cab/bed hot rod black with the 4 fenders 2 doors/steps/tailgate green. as well I am interested in your opinion on the Black/Yellow 440 truck. not for everyone I know, so your honest opinion and now with more info still a NO? any other opinions? I am just tired of the 32 yr old factory green it came with. so time for a change.

NO to either. Ruins the appearance to an otherwise attractive vehicle.

what style rim would you suggest? the stock gray 8 spoke with factory center cap and trim ring? can't do the white spoke myself.

I suppose everyone is entitled to their opinion. Old pick up truck, original (looking) paint, lowered, big fat mud grips, big fat bumper...what's not to like? I think it's very cool! But then, no one asked my opinion... that's kinda the way I see my truck too. that is also my idea with the color paint I picked. black with the green either painted up like a macho truck or a Rod Hall/Walker Evans Baja truck.
