Lookin' good!

What tires did you go with, get a good deal? We're looking at getting at least a new pair of steering tires on our '88 Winnie, good tread - but getting too old to trust very far from home...

put kumo road ventures 235-85-16s on they are 10 ply rated at 3042 lbs each in my case will lower my tire revs per mile about 50 revs per mile over the stock 16.5s run these in an 8 ply on my four wheel drive for years and have loaded them or should i say over loaded them with out any trouble. not cheap but better priced then some

Where did you get the new gas tank? I need another one for my old 74 Vogue, I had one completely worked over but the other was in much to bad of a shape. I have been looking for another and would prefer not to have another steel one.
What was the cost and capacity?

I had mine custom built (82 gallons) and built out of aluminum over in Lake Havasu city, Cost was $600.00....

While not cheap changing out from a very heavy steel tank (80 gal) to the much lighter aluminum really helped by eliminating the weight hanging 6 feet over the rear axel....

this one is 22 gallon spectra brand came from familycarpart.com i believe .it is for my gen set and emergency fuel if we run the main out i had to install a bulkhead fitting and form a line since the original was made into the pump/gauge set up
the price was $94 plus shipping of $27 but ck around on the net. there is a huge difference in pricing from one site to the next
